Integra_boomer Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't know if this is true or not but I herd that capacators are not good for competition purposes b/c there only good for one note and then ther drained,so it kinda robs you. I had a 1 farad cheapy from walley on a p550.2 fosgate, took it off and it seemed a hair louder. What do you guys think about caps?

Sampsonite Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) If it is as small as 1 farad, you're way better off with getting another battery. Some (most--98%) here will tell you to ditch capacitors all-together. Hell I wouldn't even think about running caps unless you had 300+ farads at your disposal EDIT: When I read "competition purposes" It kind of threw me off....... If you plan on strictly a daily system, capacitors are junk IMO Edited January 9, 2010 by footlongsam Quote --Sampson 816-591-6592 www.kcrimshop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 the method in which they store and release their energy is very inefficient, the smallest kinetik battery would surpass even the biggest capacitor Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 If you want a really powerful burp battery, that is very similiar to a cap look into the Batcap Extreme.

Boon Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 the method in which they store and release their energy is very inefficient, the smallest kinetik battery would surpass even the biggest capacitor Eh? They way they store and release it is incredibly efficient. A capacitor will charge and discharge energy stupidly fast compared to a battery. They just don't store much energy.

Sampsonite Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 the method in which they store and release their energy is very inefficient, the smallest kinetik battery would surpass even the biggest capacitor False information, (been taking electronics tech. for about 6 months now, and we just briefly touched on caps in the last week) but from what I've learned, they are extremely efficient. Also, in some cases (Strictly SPL) I would run Nothing But Caps. Talking 5-600 farads. Quote --Sampson 816-591-6592 www.kcrimshop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
