rboudreaux77 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 i have 1 extra battery in my trunk and stock everything else and im running a jl 1000/1 & 300/4 but im wondering if putting 1 or more caps after the second battery would help any or just really be a waste of money. i mean all a cap does is store power for the amps to use kinda like a battery would but not as good right? i read somewhere that they help with voltage drop. just wondering http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.

Red-navi-916 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 I wouldn't to it, just get a another battery with that money instead of a cap BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!! Your a lowlife kid. I bet your mother wants to kill herself for not swallowing your ass.
kl0wn Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 Caps actually store power until they are full, then they disperse all the power at once. Which sets up more stress on your electrical that is not needed, trying to fill the cap back up. Just don't waste your money on a cap. If you are having voltage drop, I would just save up money for another battery. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz
cdawgstalon Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 save up for the extra battery. its so much more worth it. i dont think ill ever use a cap again. to me they are just a waste currently just running a JL 12W7 and RF BD 1001 soon to come soundstream XXX 18 Memphis mojo MCD4KW Big azz box in tha backseat working out other details
Wastehog Posted April 16, 2010 Report Posted April 16, 2010 I honestly if you want to eliminate voltage drop, invest in a better alt. Every extra battery you add to your electrical, you need 10 amps of current to charge it. So right now, you're pulling 20 amps from your stock alt, plus what the amps need. I would spend the extra dough on a better alt. IMO. 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4
rboudreaux77 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Posted April 16, 2010 i had 2 caps i carried through my first couple of systems then i went to a battery when i got the jl 1000/1 and i said i was never going back. i dont think i am having a voltage prob my car dont have a volt meter in the dash to go by and i been wanting my cousin to come check it with his meter but he been working late. if anything i would get a new alt but i was just thinking bout it at work cause i have nothing better to do than think and come up with ideas for 10 hours lol . http://www.dcsoundlab.com/ 2008 Chevy Impala (Daily Driver) Pioneer touchscreen w/navi 1 DC XL 15" (around 4cuft ported box) 1 AQ2200 1 AQ90x4 Memphis MClass 6.5s (front doors) Memphis MClass 6x9s (rear deck) stock alt & front batt; 1 Red top in the trunk 139.2db sealed (on my old JL1000/1) 140.0db outlaw (on my old JL1000/1) 1992 Chevy S-10 Ext cab.
