Post Number: 1621 Registered: Dec-06 | Just strap a giant simi double trailler full of extremely high capacity batteries all wired in parallel to your amp. Blow the crap out of your sub if you use enough amps. <burp> Better yet, strap (steal it from some secret testing agency?) a megacapacitor (100 nonofarads?) to your system and it would take a preeety long sine wave to run it down. That's a BIG bandaid. |

Can anyone plz give me detailed instructions on how to hook up a capacitor? Step by step plz. It's new so i know you need to "charge" it first. thankyou |

Bronze Member Username: Lance_pPost Number: 42 Registered: Jan-07 | yes, I did read it, but after all the info, I understand what each part of a capacitor is meant for what. i have stock both battery and alternator in my acura mdx, so does that mean with a system pumping 1200wats RMS should i go with a 2farad?? |

Bronze Member Username: Scorpionzero454Post Number: 75 Registered: Jun-06 | lance you would be better off with a) a bigger battery, around 1000-1200amps, or b) get a second battery that matches the one you got now |
