Hey guys,,,My system consist of all Alpine, W-200 HU,, S series 10's dual 4ohms, Alpine F250 40x4 and Alpine M450, 400x1 2ohm load. I am not sure how strong our Alternators are on the Z's...I know these are not that powerful of amps,,Should I use a Cap and if so,,what farad would best be suited for the amps listed....How do you determine which farad to use? Any help would really be appreciated.....Oh, I did search this,,but no results...sorry if I missed something on the search...

 

You won't need a cap for that amount of power. Most people say they are just another drain on your alternator.

 

I have a really big kenwood amp, i have no problem with it. No need for a cap. Just make sure you use a big enough power wire.

 

For that amount of power, you dont need a cap. The cap is used for storing power on demand, so when the sub amp hits a hard note, that the amp has the power instaintly and doesnt have to pull from a long distance from the battery.

 

Great guys,,thank you for your responses....I didnt think I would need a Cap, but again wasnt sure the Amp of our Altenators,,,,I appreciate each and everyone of you.....This website has been a life saver for so many things...

Kudos to all.............now back to my glass of wine....hehehe
