[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8746433, member: 591582"] Yes. Basically, the way I would do a very high powered system, is I would invest the most into alternators, and then I'd use some sort of high discharge and recharge battery, cap, whatever, simply for short term storage of alt power, since the alts have delays in raising voltages when the bass draws current. I see batteries more as a dampening filter, than an actual source of power. I know people who don't even have batteries in their cars, it's all alternators and super caps. They have so many caps that they easily store enough energy to start the car after it's been sitting for a while. That's savage right there. I'd still have at least one battery in between the caps and the alternator(s), to act as a somewhat smooth electrical transition device. [/QUOTE]
