New battery or capacitor?

[tankdylan001 10+ year member]

Hi guys i have a type x alpine 12" woofer which i am running through either a hifonics brutus 1700 or a kicker ZXS1000.1. Either way im going to be running it through approx. 1100 watt RMS through a 2 ohm load.

I have a stock 2004 holden commodore battery, and im not sure if it will be able to contain this setup.

In this case, which option would be more efficient, new battery or capacitor?

Cheers.

A good battery is the better option.

Of course if you can go with what splaffair said... You'll be golden.

Cheers guys, how much will one of them cost? Haha.

But i heard the capacitor is practically useless as it still drains battery and only stores it.

But what battery do you think would be good for me?

honestly, we don't know the brands available over there. Probably some shit we've not heard of, but is actually just rebadged shit we already do know of.

You won't need a battery, My G8 ( holden commodore ) is not dimming at all with 1200 at 2 ohm plus 120 x 4 rms on stock electrical, the battery in the trunk is huge on these things.
