LT.Smoke Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Im going to be nice about this... When someone has a ? either answer it or dont answer but enough is enough with bashing people when they have legitimate questions and need to know something...I understand there is a bias to using or not using a cap.

dugee81 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Caps store and release energy in a different fashion as compared to batteries.. Which is why in a sense, they are efficient, but when put under a prolonged load, they fail. 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...
techforce Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The best resolution would be a HO alternator, then second would be batteries and last would be caps... Caps are usually not good if you do not have the ability to charge them and supply the stereo with current because it robs from the amps to recharge the cap... Lets say your amps draw 200 amps all together, you would need at least a 260 amp alt to keep the system and car running without having to utiliize batteries... A cap is good IF you are having a current drop from the alt to the amps, but ONLY if you have the alt to supply more than what you are drawing... if not, then it will rob your system...
