Chaseinbass 96 GMC rebuild sort of ?

[ChaseinBass]

hell yeah! now you see what we're talking about, they really do make a difference where it matters - on music

And there even better than I thought, last night I only drove down the road and it probably wasnt enough to charge everything up because today I drove to a job 4 hrs away and I never saw 12s at all only 13s and 14s so I am really happy ! cant wait to add another bank !

What did you do mounting wise with all the caps ? Any pics ?

Sadly I didn't get any pics when I added the 6th bank and buss bars...I built a wooden box similar to yours but shorter...then added 4 runs 2/0 each positive and Neg from the lithium buss bars to the cap buss bars

Did you use some kind of bussbar for the 6 cap banks and then go from buss bars to your battery ?

glad to hear you're seeing such great results. they seem to really shine with brazilian amps too. when you push them harder i bet you will see drop more towards 12s with a soft clip but thats some serious draw. on rock music and punchy base i bet you see the best results, i couldnt stand the 2-3v instantaneous drop id get without the caps

you may have answered this, but those voltages are at the amplifier input terminals right?

 

[ChaseinBass]

It's at the battery bank on bus bar but I have another lead that was on my smart voltage meter to kill power to amps on

low- over power and I have it out cuz I was having a problem with it but anyways it's source was at the triple input on the amp and I could swap it very easily on the terminal block to see if there is any difference? But where it's at now says same as meter on amp says ? Also ordered another set of caps today also lol ! I will keep adding till it stays at 14 volts ha ha

So do your alternator cables run to your cap bus bars or to your baterys first and does it make any difference ?

Correct...I don't run a front batt so all amp runs and 3 positive runs and 2 Neg runs straight to the cap buss bars then 4 runs each positive and neg to the JB lithium then a sister make 2/0 run coming off of the frame

Cool, ya my front battery's and are for my truck and the rear batterys (3 agm 110ah ) and two singer 270 alts plus anything left over from stock 145 alt are for stereo. I have three runs of 0 gauge from alts to battery bus bars and grounded to the frame - soon to be grounded at each alt when I get alts repaired and ground studs installed in two of them.then caps are run to battery bus bars now but will change when I get some of those SWEET cap bus bars.

Picked up two more banks of maxwell ultracaps and straps and they should be here this week and also bought a set of buss bars for my three juice box 110 ah agm battery's from @anger and they are waiting for me at home now. I had buss bars but there for only two battery's and I had cables running to third battery so now I can fix that and sell the buss bars for two battery's ? Anyone need a set of NRG buss bars hmu !

I was going to order the cap buss bars from Jims machine Worx today but decided to wait and see if three banks is enough or if I need more . Then I will order them

I had my knee operated on Fri so I been on the couch all weekend and got crazy and ordered two more banks of caps ! I will be running four banks for now and see how that goes. Also ordered new voltage regulators for my Singers alts and see if I can get those working too.

GOT CAPS ! Just got three more banks of caps in ! Still waiting on straps and more 0 gauge to hook them all up and see if they do the trick or if I need more. Igot two more banks just waiting on me if I do need them.
