Around what wattage should I consider using a capacitor? In the very near future I am planning on purchasing a 2400w amp(1200rms) and I'm just wondering if I am going to need a capacitor or not.
Do you mean just a run-of-the-mill car battery, or a 14v battery?No you will not. An extra battery could be beneficial though.
12v car battery, but I wouldnt cheap out on it. deka, yellow tops, some of your top brands. Look around what other people are using in their setups to get a better idea.Do you mean just a run-of-the-mill car battery, or a 14v battery?
Capacitor: never*Extra battery: If you want extra capacity with the car off*
HO alternator: If your charging system is inadequate
PERIOD.
I don't compete and I think that SPL competitions are.... Well, I'm not a fan of them. I'll leave it at that. But aren't they done with the car off, anyway?thats not always true. if that was the case everyone that competes would only have alts
depends on what league you compete in... some will only let you run with engine off, some have rpm limits.I don't compete and I think that SPL competitions are.... Well, I'm not a fan of them. I'll leave it at that. But aren't they done with the car off, anyway?
I'm in car audio because I enjoy audio (in the music sense, not the bass/loudness sense) and I enjoy cars, not because I have something to prove.
