Hey everyone!

Just got my sound setup all put in (nothing huge)

Whats the best way to secure a 12" Sub box in the boot? So its easy to access the spare tyre etc.

Also, when i have my sub cranking at night (headlights on full beam) they tend to have a slight flicker with the beat. Could this be from a bad earth? Or do i need to upgrade my battery? Or even my alternator?

a capacitor does not do anything. many say it helps giving extra boost blablabla, but at the best, it MAY remove some noise from dynamo and reduce ripples.

it is only good for:
Jewelry in the trunk to impress chicks with a cylindrical shiny thing,
Extra weight
A very poor and expensive connection point
A projectile in event of a crash
A expensive rolling pin if you gotta cook something in your trunk on a trip.
Something you can brag about: Hey maan check this, ive got a condensator to fix all my battery problems.

A Capacitor only delivers around like 100W over almost 1 sec... well worth the bucks!! cheaper to go buy a scrapped battery at the junkyard and connect it up in your trunk, and it works way better because a battery delivers the power of 200++ capacitors.

It is funny how many that think capacitors work... I myself belive it triggers a "placebo effect"...


The easyest, and best way to improve it is better battery with lower inner ressistance (E) so it can deliver bigger discharges, and improve connections...

Edit: Soo, Bigger dynamo and battery is the way to go if you want to stop the flickering because when the lights flicker it is because your voltage dropps when the sub "suck the most" and the alternator cant keep the voltage up so it draws from the battery as well.
