[QUOTE="yischrax, post: 1110512, member: 555698"] When you say adequate you need to think about a few other things too. It isn't always possible or that reasonable to have dual alternators like some people need (I being one of these people). For instance I am running an us amps us 1000x on my components soon I am looking at going with a 3 way fully active component set looking at seas excel mid bass mid and highs so they are 6 and 8 ohm I will be then running a 1000x and a set of 600x's to my front stage and a 2000x to my RE XXX I have a 250 amp alt and a 2150 cca battery. this is Adequate because for normal operation I will have enough power from the alt. my battery WILL and CAN be used for the rest of the gap though it being large it has a low response time or ESR using caps it can fill in this response from when the alt can no longer supply a charge and the battery is called upon. For a true adequate electrical system I would need to have dual alts and just use the battery to take out the AC ripple the rectifier cannot. Also for people running yellow tops and other thick plated batteries for more durability for there starter battery up front along with the long run from front to back will have a slow transition response. Capacitors (of proper capacitance) can help lower this transition response. No, you cannot have a system that calls on 300 amp draw and run a 150 amp alt and a 600 cca battery and say it is adequate but a 200-250 amp alt and a battery that is 900 cca is sufficient I think. Earlier it was said that fz of the tone generated will not make a difference but to make a tone at 100 dbs at 90hz will it not require less power than what it will require for a 40hz tone because it will need to move farther to produce the lower tone. For this reason it dose make a difference on the tone. I like having a good amount of bass when I am in the mood but am more of a sound quality guy myself and I don't think you would usually hear the difference of a small voltage drop but depending on instal equipment and such (class of amp class D compared to class A/B what is going to take a larger draw to make same amount of power and what is cleaner) So my final thought is if you are looking for a cap to make a difference in spl I don't see it happening if you are looking to make a flatter sound in music for better sound quality if everything else is right I think it will help. In spl comps isn't it mostly the batteries your using for a power supply? So it would make sense in that case that the added resistance though it is not much will hinder your score because once the battery starts discharging voltage should stay roughly the same voltage and you usually have a short run of wire from battery to amp in that case.
