capacitor

Dumb question but I’m switching out my amp to a bigger size. I currently have a capacitor hook up to the current one. Can I just unhook the cap from the old amp and hook it up to the new one or do I need to discharge it?

Questions regarding “super” caps. I have: -fosgate T1500 -two MRV-f300s -big four -AGM hood -300a alternator in the mail coming Right now, my two 12s are in a large box. There’s a lot in the trunk.

Hi all, I'm looking for a budget friendly 1.5-2 farad capacitor near Southwest VT.

I have two Nemesis Audio speakers (NA-65MR) and I was wondering if I could place a frequency eliminator that skar sells to cut out those low frequencies, my radio doesn’t have a crossover nor do I have one wired in. Any help would be appreciated! EDIT: Thank y’all for all the answers it has...

I'm running two amps one for a single 12 one for my component speakers in my doors in a 2023 Ram 5500 (repo truck) . my truck has two batteries and are used for other things in the truck. is it okay to put a capacitor after the battery and before the distribution block that sits off into both...

Let me start with some back story. The photo attached is of my 2x 10" kicker subwoofers, 600 watt kicker amp, and a 2.5F capacitor. This went in my 2013 mini cooper and worked amazingly well for the year i had it in there. I have since sold the coop as multiple, EXPENSIVE, problems arose but i...

I was planning of doing something like this video so that my stereo does not power off and loose bluetooth connection when the starter kicks. This will only power the reciever, and will not run any amplifiers. But I do not know if it is 100% safe or if pre made kits are available for this...

this is what i’m working with! i’m not sure how to wire it up to get the right ohms or anything along those lines can someone help me out by answering these questions? will this amp support the sub? is the capisitor going to effect my sub or be beneficial? can you draw a wiring diagram to send...

Okay here is the scenario. I am starting a build next month. I’m doing this one for a family member and they have a conversion van because my family member recently became handicapped.  They love a decent sound system seems to be a genetic thing haha, anyway all this started with a need for 120...

SPEAKER: MB Quart QS216 (1-pair) AMP: ? CAPACITOR: ? Looking for amp to match MB Quart speakers rated at 80/170w. Power rating is 4 ohms. I only prefer to shop at sonicelectronix. I found a couple 2channel-ClassAB amps that have an rms ranging from 100-150w. Are there any benefits in going above...

I'm about to un-solder a few capacitors in my amp to check if they are going bad because I can't identify any physical damage on my board or capacitors. This is a Renegade REN1000S MK3 amplifier I had professionally bought/installed about a year or two ago. I started hearing knocking noises from...

Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some input on a problem I'm having in my Dodge Caliber. I recently got a new car after being in a pile up and a new audio system along with it. The problem I'm encountering is my headlights dimming along with the speed gauge back-lights when my volume gets to a...

I've got a Polk dxi 124 connected to an RE 2000.1 amp in my 1991 Honda Civic. When I play music at louder volumes, the light on the remote dims a lot and the sub seems to lose its power. I haven't really noticed any headlight dim when driving. I was wondering if this is an issue that could be...

Hey everyone! Okay jumping right into it. I bought a Power Acoustik 5 Farad capacitor and watched plenty of videos and diagrams so I knew I was hooking it up right. First of all i took out my fuse under the hood so theres no power.I installed the capacitor with in 18" inches of amp. Connected my...

I know they are basically useless, but I have one a friend gave me a couple years ago. Should I bother wiring it in to my system because I have it, or just leave it in the garage?

Alright my first question about capacitors! 1) What is a farad? 2) Do you want more farads? 3) what is the cheapest but yet reliable capacitor to buy?? 4) I don't have any wires to the capacitor, and do I just use the amplifier install kit wires? I have a scosche 500k micro farad capacitor...

Okay guys this is my first post so if I am putting it in the wrong section I'm sorry. Alright onto the question. I have 4 gauge power wire running directly from the battery (with an inline fuse of course) that goes all the way to my trunk were it goes into the capacitor then goes into the amp...

I was wondering if it was really that difficult to open up the casing on an amplifier and replacing the resistors and capacitors... if that would result in a higher power output... i do some circuitry so its not that hard for me to replace them but i was wondering if there was more to it than...

I have a 2010 Nissan Altima with the Bose system. With that factory Bose system, most of the bass was from the 6x9s mounted in the rear deck. It sounded OK for a lot of music, but the rear 6x9s really fall apart when playing low frequencies at even moderate volume. So I disconnected the rear...

i have the book, but it is very vague. if someone could help it would be great

This isn't as easy as the title sounds. I got a free Capacitor from a friend. The Capacitor literally says nothing on it. No label of any sort, or any impressions in the aluminum housing (aside from scratches and dings from age) to give me any indication of the Farad rating. Is there any sort of...

So i have already in my truck 2 12" Jackhammers with a 1250w matching amp. what i want to do is get an additional two, 2 channel amps. One for my door speakers to run all of the time, and one for speakers outside of the cab with a toggle switch. Questions: Can I run 3 amps off of one H/U...

Ok, I have 2 Alpine Type-E 12" connected to a Boss PH2.800 1600w amp (2 x 260rms at 4ohms) and a 3.5 farad capacitor. Now, I have a little issue with the capacitor, when I turn up the volume for more than 20 the voltmeter goes off and the capacitor start making a beep sound. I have a 4 gauge...

Okay talking to local "Experts" and then getting on google and researching is about to drive me batty. Completely different opinions on everything I have asked so I am going to ask here Local "Expert" said that a capacitor would be a good investment to have less strain on my alternator. Google...

I bought a new car and had a new shop install my JL 500/1 (v1 I think) powering 2 JL w3's in the H.O. wedge box. I was excited! That was a few hours ago. I also let them put a break in the power chain with a 2 Farad Cap from Tsunami in there. The cap seems to have crapped out. I didn't monitor...

Hey My lights have been dimming just whenever my car uses any extra electricity other then what it needs to run lol and you just see the volt gauge move pretty dramatically but never goes below 10 but anyway at first the batterry was ****** to begi with if i used any elctricity other then...

K I'm a noob, but trying to be considerate and not pollute other more specific threads. I'm installing an Audison lrx5.1 in on 08 WRX/STI (amp is approx. 1500W max, but I'll rarely hit that). The STI alternator puts out 120A. I ordered a BatCap 800 to help preserve my electrical system and to...

My fuse in the fuse holder keeps blowing everytime I hookup my power wire to battery. Never had this problem until I installed my capacitor and when I hooked it up. But that was when it was new and had no charge. Now that still has charge and its the only reason I can think of. Had a flat tire...
