Would i need a capacitor or an extra battery?

[porksoda 10+ year member]

Well i am about to get my system in soon and i have 2 12" w3's and 1 Diesel 1600.1 amp. I have the stock battery and i have underdrive pullies and those slow everything down on the motor to make more horsepower. So i dont know if i am gonna need a cap so my battery wont die. I am gonna buy a Yellow top some time in the future.

Also i see alot of cars with systems and they have like a extra battery in there car with the system. Would i need another battery? Thanks alot guys!

I just want my system to Pound!! Thanks!

Later,

pablo

hmm i would do a battery i put a kinetic battery in my car and it made my bass hit harder when i had the volume higher. i also had a cap at one point but for like less money i got better performance with the battery

Capacitors are useless. There's a huge thing about them. (Don't feel like looking). Battery on the other hand, would do well. What's the stock amperage on the alternator?

I dont know for sure on the alternator but i think it is either 120 or 140.

Yeah, I'd add a second battery, doesn't have to be the beefiest, but something that will help you along, maybe a red/yellow top, HC800?

cool and i can hook that kinetik battery to my system. Is there alot of extra wiring to hook up an extra battery?

Not hardly any extra wires hooking up an extra battery, there is just a positive and a ground that you have to run...

Can we add "I will not ask a question regarding the usage of capacitors" stipulation to the required terms and conditions before registering for this forum?

Or maybe a completely separate check box to really get the point across?

put the system in first. If u have dimming or volatge drops tahn get teh extra battery, but b4 that go ahead and do the big 3. Why waste ur money if in the long run u wont need anythign that all. Its not gonna hurt to install ur system first without an extra battery.
