How Many Watts Is It Safe To Run W/out A Cap?
#13
Im running a total of 1476wrms for the bass amp plus 425wrms for the frant and another 425 for the rear, and drawing about 360 amps total. Now the thing is that all your ratings for max amperage only occur if all amps are driven tot their fullest at a certain frequency, when I run SPL the most my system draws is 225 amps about 60 percent of peak amperage draw possible. I had a cap on it but really no help, when I upgrade the grounds (0 gauge all the way around) and put in the yellow top, then it made a difference. Just like the rattles (200lbs of dynomat later) though, with my system the diming headlights is going to occur, but upgrading the gorunds and positive (as well to the alternator) sure makes a huge difference in maintaing system voltage. IMO caps are more for show, although I would love to try one of those Bat Caps!
