[QUOTE="slumpinhonda, post: 5440871, member: 580685"] 4k watts you need...........1290 farads of caps. To be successful...... .....in our testing....1290 farads and mmats amp...Voltage at 14.7 at full tilt drop 13.9 volts clamped 4300 watts @ .05 rise........turned voltage up and burp at 16 even and drop was 15.5 amp did 5200 but blew up cause too high voltage. Caps will only do you any good if you have like 1000 plus fards.......they discharge to quickly and then drag on the batterey the whole time trying to stay charged... we used them in a comp vehicle we had 2580 farads of caps.....we set it up so that we charged them off a 16volt battery with a solenoid to shut the batt off from caps when they were charged....you want to burp directly off the caps only no battery, because while the caps are dischargin they are tryin to pull from the batt at the same time making them weaker and score was 1 db down. but disconnect battery and it gained a db just off caps. but my point is you will need more than a one farad cap to make a difference.......and a battery is cheaper, makes a huge difference, more dependable. and the caps we used were 430 farads a piece........Maxwell technologies [URL="http://www.maxwell.com/ultracapacitors/products/modules/bmod0250-16-2v.asp"]http://www.maxwell.com/ultracapacitors/products/modules/bmod0250-16-2v.asp[/URL] they are similiar to these ours are the 430 farad version [/QUOTE]
