Capacitor

[Pelph16 10+ year member]

I got two 12 inch Kicker L5's powered by an 1800 watt Fosgate Amp. I need a capacitor, because my battery is about shot. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Im getting a new battery, but i want a capacitor to prevent this from happening again. I wanna keep it under $200. What should i get?

Dude, don't invest in a cap! Cuz it actually drains more power from your system because it needs to get charged everytime it is used. So if you're getting dimmage or whatever, just upgrade to a new alternator or get a optima red top battery...also, caps don't help a whole **** much for the price cuz they're more for the people that have to pull out that extra burp of power. Caps can't store a whole lot of energy and as soon as it drains, it'll take power from you system again...so u might as well be better off getting an upgraded alternator, which shouldn't be too much...i've seen some around 200 for 180 amp alternator (more than enough!)...so good luck

At least a somewhat quality projectile........

Pelph16,

I can't say enough good about the Optima Red Top's!

In combination with my high output alternator, my overall cars voltage has increased a maintained .2 volts DC. May seem like a small ammount, however, when you're obsessed, every little bit counts! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Make sure that your primary upgrade is the Alternator, as no battery will do the job by itself. Current flows from the alternator to the battery.

I think that you see where I am heading....

Good Luck!
