Phaeton Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 @eminence so in that case when are super caps needed? when you plan of running 2500+ watts and your voltage stays above 13.5. After one H.O. alt, 3-4000 watts you get into larger cap/battery banks. 4k+ you need at least dual alts and a bank of caps/bats. Thats what i think anyway. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin

GS300Cali93 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 @dd9515mmatsjugg's ok bro I'm still new to car audio so I'm trying to learn all I can so with that said lol I've always wondered how a extra battery works as in were power comes from and when they are really needed in your system right now I'm not going to crazy just a lil something for now
GS300Cali93 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 @Eminence's ok thanks man yea right now not going to crazy on my system just a lil something right now then I will problem get into that later I just want to put a simple 15 in right now
Ahmed Johnson Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 The second battery helps, when your voltage starts dipping under your front battery resting voltage. Basically if you are dipping under like 12.4 volts a second battery might help.
OrionStang Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Don't worry about caps right now. You'll never "NEED" them, but they become an option vs extra batteries when you get into larger systems. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
