im pretty sure i do but im new to it. i have a PYLE PLAD413 2000 Watt 4 Channel High Power MOSFET Amplifier, and will be running it at 4x200W RMS at 4 Ohms on 4 SONY XPLOD XS-V6841H 6x8(1000 watt total), it will be put in a 06 ford f150 with the 5.4 triton v8 if i need a capacitor, what farad would work?
Ive never been Foolish Enough to Waste my money on Pyle so im not familiar with Pyle at all but i dont know about those specs because Pyle is straight up Horrible Quality from what ive heard but im sure a 1.0 farad cap would do the job if u think u need a Cap
you do NOT need a capacitor it will only make things worse. The only good thing you can do with a capacitor is to wire it to your headlights so they will have power reserve and won't blink, and they'll still probably dim because your alternator can't keep up. If your lights don't dim, don't do anything, if you have problems with everything dimming on hard bass notes, get a new high output alternator.
are you serious or are you just fooling around? cause if your serious, i will guarantee you that your headlights will not dim with the setup you get there. unless you forgot to mention you also have a sub or two and another amp.
If you want a Capacitor ill sell you a 1.2 farad Cap with Charging bulb for 25 bucks an 10 bucks shipping its about 6 months old but it was never used for more then one week
caps make the lights not dim...and it improves your amp power...but install evrything without the cap..if your lights dim a lot get a .5 farad cap or higher on ebay
Caps do NOT fix dimming lights, the cap discharges nearly instantly and then it has to recharge, your alternator's still putting out power to the amp, the headlights, and now it has to recharge that cap you put in there. Just don't do it even the big 10 farad caps aren't worth it.
they just don't do what people think they do about providing the "extra" power. Yes, the alternator does need to recharge the cap as well as the system and everything else, but when you have a HO alternator then it does help smooth out the voltage because it will be recharged instantly and it keeps the voltage tighter. Oh, and actually, sometimes it does help headlights not dim, but its not a replacement for a HO alternator by any means.
