using a capcitor does help..........

[wishbone 10+ year member]

..because the lights are dimming?
are you slightly retarded? lol

But the lights don't need the extra current, the amps do therefore if you connect the cap to the lights, they will still dim because the lights draw the same current no matter what , when AMPS draw current the drop varies. Not the same with lights.

Some one knows the importance of CAPS in amplifiers. Although rated in micro farads, They do the same thing 5 FARAD caps do.

WB

NO.

I just told you why the caps inside amps are small compared to audio caps.

Caps inside the amp are using HV so small current needs to pass through them to give the proper total output.

You audio cap is so large because the amp draws a lot of current at LV to convert into HV.

The output signal is floating around 105V at low current. Go and check with a multimeter.

You wanna keep going toe to toe with an EE?

WB, Claiming to actually HEAR an improvement by installing a cap is 100% psychoacoustics. There is no other explanation for that.

And this, is exactly what cap supporters need to realize and come to terms with. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

can we all hear it again?

 

[tc300 10+ year member]

you see more ppl with big alt's than you do caps... this is for a GOOD reason...... cuz cap are basicly pointless

and batteries....but i still want my mother fvckin amp!!!!!

For some reason I just don't believe you . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Can you spell GALLERY ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

i still don't believe you. you photoshoped those. plus, you didn't take a pic of any of the multiple caps needed to supply power to this system? shame on you

lol, I still don't know what this Hyundai crap is about //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

and you realise than most cars have petrol engines right? and that more batteries on a petrol engine won't help... lol

I'm sure a whole heap of crapacitors would help though... lol

I am currently pushing 400 watts for the 2 clarion subs and 100 watts for the 2 front door speakers. My cap is a 5 Farad for future applications. I know .5 Farad would assist in a 500 watt sound system.
WB

Wait, so you are noticing SIGNIFICANT dimming from 500Watts? Are you telling me that your 5 Farad capacitor is assisting your Alternator with the HUGE under 40amp draw from your 500watts of RAW power?

If you are getting dimming from 500watts, I'm surprised you can roll up your windows without a capacitor on them.

PS: OP, please link us to your super current drawing amp so we can determine if you are worthy of that 5F cap, thanks!
