Unregistered guest | ok so for every .5 it is 500 watts |

Silver Member Username: Subzer0Richmond, KY USA Post Number: 365 Registered: May-05 | i'm going to get a 1 farad capacitor for my new eclipse 15" aluminum I just bought although I will only be running about 600 watts to it. Just because I can :P.. i'm odd. What brands of caps were you looking at if any? I noticed you didn't have any subs picked out yet. |

Yeah, be careful man, you just might blow your subs if you don't get a cap. Your right anways, I can see you know soooo much more than me. I think I'm gonna sell my HO alt and buy a cap right now; at least I'll be in with the "fad." |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8639 Registered: Dec-03 | just get the biggest capacitor you can find.. 200 farads or larger |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3294 Registered: Aug-04 | I was thinking like 500. |
|
Unregistered guest | y should i get that big of one |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 3729 Registered: Nov-04 | I'd gladly accept anyone's 200F capacitor. It's a great way to power some low current LED flashers. Comes in handy during Christmas. One more thing, don't mock the 200F!!! It can be used as a shocker.  |
