[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1851254, member: 565696"] Not another standard "how much chrome should my cap have" thread, promise. But if i wanted to get proper usage of a cap, where it would effectively show my charging system a CONSTANT load, so my voltage regulator didn't have to constantly excite and, um, de-excite? my alternator, how much capacitance would i need? Would love to make my brushes last as long as possible. I'm running a kenwood xxv-02A, which is wired to run 88w x 4 rms (CEA2006 verified) And a Hifonics Bxi2006D, which is wired to run the full 2000w rms (ok, 1600w rms...) The kenwood is running my doors, so it's going to be semi-constant draw, but i would love the buffer the load of the hifonics, esp. since i'm planning on tuning @ 33hz, and am actually only going to run true sub-bass on it (50hz down) so it's gonna spike like a champ. I'm (as we speak..) installing a more than capable electrical system, but i wondered how many caps i would need to get true benefit of the capacitance, to show my alternator a constant ampere draw (or atleast very smooth peaks and valleys?) Right now i have two 1.2farad caps that both came with stinger wiring kits (a kit that was once in my jetta, and the one i initially installed in my audi) How much more capacitance do i need to honestly buffer ~1000-1600w spikes?
