[QUOTE="Fishchris, post: 8746977, member: 683065"] Hey btw, here's something to ponder... Steve Meade knows a ton, and owns a ton of car audio stuff. And, he's a really nice guy. I've met him, and gotten a few demos. He gets a ton of respect from me. You may or may not feel the same. ....But anyway. A while ago he tried adding four 500 farad supercaps to his 30Kwt system... But I felt like he made a "big mistake"... He did not add 2000 farads of capacitance to an already rediculously bad ass system... Instead, he "replaced" 4 of his big XS Power batteries ! I was seriously screaming at my PC when I saw this ! Like dude ! WTF !?!? Supercaps are not supposed to "replace" batteries ! They are supposed to "work along with them ! So here's the interesting part... I would have expected him to be like, "Wow ! These things ****... It's not pounding as good now, as it did before...." But no. He actually sounded like... "Okay, they are not too bad. They certainly added some noticable difference in the fast bass hits, like kick drums and such...." Well yea ! That's what they do.... But just think if he had kept all of his battery power PLUS added 2000 farads of capacitance ! I'm still surprised he didn't do this ? Surely he could have squeezed those in somewhere, without removing batts ? Anyway, aa much as I respect his knowledge, I still don't think he really got to see how great supercaps can be, when "added" to an already bass ass setup. [/QUOTE]
