I explained why its benefits are negligent in the face of the system your son is running. Also yea I know capacitors store static charge. Capitance is the measurements of a devices ability to hold a static charge. Its in the name. What im trying to say is that a the rod top battery or any...

Im not saying you never need an HO. I just dont need one in my case and 95 percent of people will not need one either. Your sons trucks lights aren't dimming because he has a red top battery that is many many times the capitance than a measly 5 farad. 5 farad when you do the math is going to...

What i meant was that for my application, changing the alternator was easy installation wise cause I kept the single starting bat in the factory location. I was drawn in by all the pros and other people saying its dead necessary for the system is was running. At the time I had no bills and lots...

Hes not getting that 220 amps at idle tho. When I got the spreadsheet for my 320 amp HO alternator when it was tested, idle output was near 100 amps and the full 320 amps didnt kick in till like 2.2k rpms. You dont need a steady supply to match your amp exactly unless your running full tilt burp...

Yea ive been thru the upgrading alternator phase on my last mustang. It was crazy easy and was only $380 powder coated from Autotech. I didnt have a volt meter hooked up so im not sure how much it helped voltage sag. The biggest difference that was made was going from stock wires and battery to...

Its an 03 mustang. I dont use it with the car off so it'll never be an issue of being able to run it for X amount of time. I want to be able to handle heavy bass hits and high power transients and I need the power reserve to take it and recharge rapidly, and I know music is dynamic and isnt...

Have a JP13 (~220 amps, 2050 watts @ 1 ohm) and Recoil 80.4 (~20-30 amps @ 4 ohms) and tryna pick out a supporting battery. Going stock alt and starting batt with big 3 and looking to put an AGM...

Have a JP13 (~220 amps, 2050 watts @ 1 ohm) and Recoil 80.4 (~20-30 amps @ 4 ohms) and tryna pick out a supporting battery. Going stock alt and starting batt with big 3 and looking to put an AGM in the trunk. Screenshot are some decent priced ones with good reviews and decent warranties. Also...

What all did you swap out? Just the headunit (main stereo input), speakers, or both? Also, what frequency range is it sounding bad? Are the high fuzzy or scratchy? Is there no bass? Do the vocals sound funny?

For early 2000s models Fords, what kind of fastener is this that holds in the factory mounting bracket? I have aftermarket brackets for 6.5s that will fit in...

Ok cool. Yea I'll just drill in some new holes and sheet metal screws. Thanks man

For early 2000s models Fords, what kind of fastener is this that holds in the factory mounting bracket? I have aftermarket brackets for 6.5s that will fit in there. The fastener looks like it just has a perfect t circle on the head so I dont think Allen keys or star bits would work
