Power capacitors

What are they?

Power capacitors work, acting as an energy reserve bank, they save the charge, rather than the source of power like battery. If you listen to music or playing a heavy sub-bass note that the current from the capacitor does not draw from the battery to make sure the rest of the car is not in power, that is, the lights are dim hunger. It 's like a buffer, so that the amplifier has power does not fallunder the recommended voltages and thus are constantly reducing the risk of damaging components.

1500 Watt Amp

So, what to choose output capacitor?

After doing a little research, the general rule seems to 1 farad per 1000 watts of power, the system is running. So, with this, a capacitor 1.5 Farad power should be ideal for a 1500 watt system. There are a wide range of electrical capacitors available out there, for example, this is a 2 farad capacitor power capacitor powerespecially for smaller systems, this does not mean, however, that have poor performance, but for systems that require more power, a capacitor farads with a higher power can offer more and usually build a higher quality of being. For a capacitor, high-quality performance, I recommend high-quality brands such as Rockford Fosgate car audio. For example, there is a selection of Rockford Fosgate series of capacitors are available in 2 farad digitalOr 10 farad power capacitor capacitor bank power options that are suitable for sophisticated systems and, as an added bonus, some say, look the business!

To install the capacitor

Ideally, the capacitor will be installed as close as possible to the amplifier as possible. The capacitor has a positive 12-volt battery and requires a separate ground, the amplifier, so that the 12 volts positive 'inline' with the battery terminal and the amplifier. The12-volt amplifier is positive, then removed from the condenser, while the amplifier is usually separated as it is important to use a ground wire as short as possible, on the ground floor to avoid potential interference.

If you need to consider alternative

Capacitors is not always a help when you hear the music when the lights dimmed for example, and remains dim, it means that there is a lack of power and there are other ways to solve the problem,Could it be that the battery will not be able to impose a tax sufficient to raise the requirements, so that the installation of a battery is usually higher than starting the common solution, but it is possible that an update "The Big Three" can also solve the problem (see below for details). It 'also important to consider whether the current source, a fee, sufficient to produce a larger battery.

"The Big Three '

The big three is a popular upgrade. It consists ofupgrading three wires in the car to ones that are much thicker. As a result of using much thicker wire, more current is allowed to flow through; hence the overall effect seen will be that the voltage running through the car will be higher. The three wires that are upgraded are the wire from the alternator to the battery, the engine ground to the chassis and the battery ground to the chassis. It is common, but not always, that people will choose 0 gauge power wire when going about the big three . This update is vital to ensure that the voltage supplied to the amplifier does not fall so low that the risk of damage is possible.

Completion

So in conclusion, there are no hard or fast responses when a capacitor is necessary or not. However, the capacitors have advantages when used properly. There are a wide selection of capacitors, some with a digital voltmeter, distribution blocks, etc., come, while others are purely aesthetic pleasure can be selected, I went for a 4 faradOutput capacitor with a built-in digital voltmeter with an LCD display, making it something that I could see and it looks pretty cool it was.
