Aj11 Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 What's up everyone long time no talk. Between my son who's gonna be 4 in January and a baby daughter due in January I handing haven't had much of any time. Anyway new build time. Keeping the same sun CT exo D15 15 and for now just 1 CT AT 1400.1 ran at .5ohm. Box is for a different thread. 0g sgca cable all the good stuff and a shrunenkin BT something up front. I'm been doing days of research and none of it seems to add up. I know I need 6 2.7v cap ran in series to make a bank. So here's my question(s) 1. Will 1 bank do the job or do I need 2? 2. Why are some caps $11 and others are $75? 3 I would greatly appreciate it if someone could just make me a list of what I need so I can just check out and go on with my build. I'm no noob,I know audio I just don't know caps. So please help me out I don't have room for a huge bat bank or the rear suspension. 15 years of audio and this is like pulling teeth for me. If it's as cheap as I think I might just go with 2 anyway. Just need a new front stage, box, deadener cap bank and I'm ready to rock. Last was a 153.3db I'd love to break that jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 If you are only running 1.5k, a single cap bank will be plenty. Especially if you have a decent HO alt and starting battery. You need 6 caps. If you go with the maxwell brand they are 2.7v a piece and 3000 farads (These are the $60+ ones). The less expensive ones may still be 2.7volts but have far less capacitance, they won't do you any good. If you have more specific questions you can pm me I'll try to help.

Aj11 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 OK I'll keep looking into it. The biggest thing I like is the weight jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my question is do I get the aluminum bus needs bars from the same spot I get the caps Okay well 2 banks per 3k is an okay rule of thumb if you have enough alt/ batt in addition. For reference, I run 4 sundown 3500s @.5 each off of 8 banks. My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, I run 4 sundown 3500s @.5 each off of 8 banks. So I would need 12 minimum then. Overkill is always better. I do have a budget tho. I have a baby girl due in January so my girl will be out of work for a while. And speaking of babies, how... Um stable are these things? I've heard horror stories about them discharging. But it's usually because people are dumb. I will have 2 kids in my car. I really like the Xstatic batcap 4000 its a big old beast and I'm confident it will do exactly what I need it to do. The only thing I don't like is that it's 72lbs. Add that to a 90lb sub, 50lb box 30lbs of amps and ??lbs of wire and deadener all located in my trunk.... jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Added weight vs costs, it can be a tough choice at times on what to get on budgets, as long as the caps are shielded from shorting out you should be fine, and i would atleast get a single bank to start and add a second when you can unless you can do both at the same time. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
