basshead4life Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 so if its 1 farad per 1000watts why does the (i think) kinetic hc 800 say its as powerful as 100 1 fard caps but only rated for 800 watt systems in stead of 100,000 like 100 1 farads caps would be? Quote Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosg8fan Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 It was the hc 600 thats has more power than a hundred 1 farad caps and the hc800 thats better than 200 1 farad caps...? If I can remeber correctly in their ads.. good question but not even a 100 farad cap or 100 1 farad caps can handle a 100,000 WATTS!! When 100 1 farad caps are all drained they become a much bigger extra load for the alternator to restore only to have them all drained out again in less than a second..Where as the kinetik requires much less and more a storage instead of a sucker!! Caps= suck and spit and suck!! Batteries= store all your wasted power then gives it to kindly,LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k3n12ock Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 So if I ordered a PowerMaster D975 would I stick it under the hood or would I have to rewire it in my trunk?

Guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 a cap has very little storage energy, versus a battery which can start a car. to wire multiple batteries together, alls you do is connect all the + together then all the - together (dont let them touch...)

The enD Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I red that 1 farad can output 6A a sec. 72 Watts. Edited June 21, 2009 by The enD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPINE408 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 didnt someone do a test on this with a cap then no cap...then ended up gaining like .3db by taking the cap out. i gaind 1.3 dbs taking a phonix gold 40 farret cap out Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

The enD Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=39954&hl= Here is the thread... 1 farad=72 watt secondsonce a cap is drained, it doesn't recharge until the draw is brought down to a level where a reserve is created, its obvious that you cant start to charge something until there is current available, so if the amp draws more than the alt can provide, it drains the cap fiirst, and then the battery 72 watt seconds@12 volts...so thats like 6amps for a second...if you have 600 watts, call it a 60 amp draw, you get .1second of current from the cap, the rest just comes from thee batt and alt and the capacitor is just sitting there until the bass stops, then it recharges. a friend of mine ran 20 of those rockford hybrid 40f caps...so 800 farads. with 4 zx2500's. The caps were drained after a 3 second tone. get batteries, caps are beyond useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dred Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 "a cap is absolutely useless unless you have 0 voltage drop and you want to clean up the ripples at the top and bottom waves" i really like this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
