mrd6 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 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. well my amp is 2,700w @1ohm and I run it at .5ohm. Dual 1ohm sub. I may or may not run my second CT 1400.1 not sure yet. I guess my question is do I get the aluminum bus needs bars from the same spot I get the capsOkay 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.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.... I don't know, you still haven't told us what alt and starter batt you'll be using with the caps... They are just as safe as batteries if you understand what they are and install them securely. What's the batt cap price? My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the batt cap price? I'm using 2 shrukin (spelling lol) 800s up front. Only batteries short enough to fit with 6/0g inputs on top. And as far for the alt.... Waiting on Mike to get back to me. (I new I shouldn't of bought a foreign car) and the batcap 4000 is $400 bucks with amazing reviews. But I'm guessing the alt will at most be a 240/270 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...
