You cannot effectively drive 1000w (RMS) amps using standard 12V battery supply. I have tried every trick in the book and you cannot maintain 14V for more than 10 minutes with the volume cranked up. I have now added a second high output alternator hooked up to a small battery in the back and two 2 farad caps. This goes straight to my Alpine MRD100 mono block amp, what a sound, sets off car and shop alarms continualsy!!! -------------------- |

QUOTE(trdproven @ Sep 5, 2006 - 2:15 AM) [snapback]476281[/snapback] Doesn't capacitors help from draining the battery or are you talking about keeping the power continuous throughout play? i believe he's talking about generating more electrical power, he used to be consuming more power than the stock charging system could produce and his system would drain a notch every time the bass hits. caps only smooth out the ripple caused by the amp draining the system the moment the bass hits. they do not reduce power consumtion in any way. *system = electrical system of the car, alternator + battery for more info, look into www.bcae1.com ![]() -------------------- ----------------------6GC's FIRST V6----------------------
