Power - True or False ?

[Botev12]

Thanks for all the replies.

So far I get that I should ditch the caps. Since they only help on keeping power clean on basspeaks with good voltage.

I also see that all of u recomend the XS Power batts. Problem for me is that I haven't seen any one in europe/scandenavia.

Stinger ive heard of but expensive compared to maxxima and optima which is sold more in my country.

So the conclusion is that with 2 batts, 1 driving the cars electrical , and 1 for the stereo, without the caps, both in the boot, will help my situation.

And that i wont get soo much voltage drops when cranking it up ? im going to uprate the alt wires to chassis ,and enginge chassis grounds. But the alt to batt cable will be too much of a hassle at the moment .

So all my cables from monster is basicly crap / gimmick. They are no better than the cheap cables ?

Thanks again.

both batteries will power your audio and your car. they will be hooked together in parallel (+ to + and - to -)

monster wire is overpriced, they have all this "technology" in them that supposedly makes them better than the competition, when in real life, theyre exactly the same.

I mean you can try running the capacitors yet. They may do fine once you fix the major problems.

Such being the positive wire running from your alt to your battery. I personally think that this is your main problem even tho you say it is a hassle, its a hassle that all of us have to deal with, and if the factory wire that runs from your alt to your battery is too small it can easily overload (due to the added current draw of the stereo) and melt/burn/start a fire.

Its not that Monster Cable is a gimmick in general. Its just that they use marketing gimmicks to sell their products and sometimes up their price.

As for the batteries. Stay away from Optima, they are decent batteries and use to be the battery to have for car audio 10+ years ago because they where a deep cycle gel battery that could be drained and recharged with very minimal effects on its lifespan. However thru the years optima is still making the same exact batteries as they where 10 years ago with minimal upgrades that technology has brought us thru the years.

If by Maxxima batteries you mean EXIDE, they have some decent batteries and maybe cheaper to go with then Stinger.

Im unaware of where you are in Europe, but BTLD is a UK/EU Rep for Ascendant Audio, Fi Car Audio, XS Power, Powermaster, KnuKonceptz, He maybe able to get you XS Power batteries in your area, or at least cheaper then having to pay shipping from the good ol US of A. His website is www.BladeICE.com or try sending him a Private Message on the forums. Here is his profile http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showuser=10337 and his latest build that is outstanding!! Defiantly worth the time to check out the guys skills if you got a good hour to kill http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=49838
