slvrcelicagt Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 ive got a 12" T2 with a rf x6 amp...going to put in 2awg and either one of the electrical components, which would be better for daily driving in a 00 celica gt with a 80 amp alt....the lights dim pretty bad on low frequency songs. i was lookin at either the model 400 batcap (200 F) or a kinetik which would be better? pros and cons?

sean 371 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Upgrading your alternator is almost always a good thing to do. But a second battery would probably fix the problem. I'm assuming you've already upgraded the big 3.

Chris Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 If you look into the pics and stats of a batcap 800 and a kinetik hc600 they are almost identical. only difference is the hc600 is cheaper. around 120bucks instead of 175. Both are great products 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.

slvrcelicagt Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 i havent done the big 3 yet....well i was leaning toward the bat cap 400 bc its a 200 farad capacitor(50% cap, 50% battery) and capacitors charge alot quicker than batteries. and wen i get home a yellow top is waiting to be put in. the batcap 400 will b about 160 and its 16v stable, higher than a battery....and if i was goin for a kinetik i was goin to get like the hc800...the model 800 batcap is jus like the kinetiks like you were sayin but its rated at 800ccA and i can get that for about 140...didnt no if any one here had experience with both or problems with either.

Chris Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Caps do charge faster than batteries, But they cant make their own source of power. The bat cap 400 is a 200 farad cap but it is also technically a battery -hence the name batcap- Also if I had the space, a redtop would come before either option. Any choice you make will most likely be a wise one, But for the dimming lights issue, that HC1000 or a redtop sound the sweetest. 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.
