Does a cap really make a differance in sound in a system or is this not required, running 500w ph.gold amp?
the answer is simply a cap is needed---it will be fineOriginally posted by Plater Jayls5
I looked up your cars stock alt. it is any where between 100A to 1300A depeneding on the motor and acc. u have. I know if you plan on going to "1.3Kw of power" you are looking at a 1300/12= 108A draw . Now if you don't replace some part of your electrical system u will spend $50 -100 every year or less rebuilding your alt.(rectifiers/regulators) Now 1300W is alot of power so weather or not it is a really rating in a question. But if you have any light dimming problems right now going to a bigger amp isn't going to solve your problem. Spend the money on the source not some bandaid solution.
