Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 107 Registered: Oct-05 | i dont know but if you dont get a new HO alternator around 180 amps your car is going to not sound as well because you alternator is the whole parts of the electrical system and if you are getting that big of a cap. you will be draining your alternator out. which is def. bad. first find out amps of alternator upgrade to a cap. ask anyone, thats what you do. |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 635 Registered: Feb-05 | stock alternator isn't gonna be big enough. you'll definally need a HO Alternator, at least 250 amps, 190 for the 2400 watt amp and 50-60 for the car. more for any other amps you have. |

Silver Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 109 Registered: Oct-05 | yea get a 1.5 farad cap. You dont need that big of a cap. and why are you looking to show it off just for looks?? more likely to be stolen, i know tons of people who have gotten theirs stolen because it lights up and other people can see it well. if you are upgrading later, first get the alternaor. then see how your system is, if you lights dim then it means your alternaot isnt big enough, so go with a 200+ alt. a cap. isnt really a big deal. |

Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 481 Registered: Jun-05 | Hmmm...wonder exactly how that display that measures the amps works.. Does it just measure the amount of current traveling back to your amplifiers..? Does it measure just how many amps the capacitor itself is putting out? How many it's pulling? Hmm... |
