Like the title says, I'm getting ready to do my first audio build... Just about all of the components are high end so I am trying to put all the information together and just make one huge purchase of everything and start my build.

So, here's another what's better thread.

Capcell / Capacitor / 2nd Battery

What is better for different types of audio builds and why?

Here's my setup so far:

Alpine PDX 1.100 Mono amp
Apline PDX 4.150 Amp
Alpine SWR-1022D Type R (x2)
Alpine SPX-17PRO

I plan on using 4ga wiring for power and ground to the amps, 10 ga wiring for the subs, and 12ga wiring for the component speakers.

Any input on the wiring and setup would be appreciated. But overall, I need more info on capcell, capacitors, and a 2nd battery.

 

I am assuming that you meant to say PDX 1.1000 amp and if so, your whole system will draw 1,600 watts or 128 amps per http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm. I am assuming that you should at least get a good 1st battery and then get a 2nd battery later if needed. I don't think capacitor is going to help though. By the way, 12 gauge wire is an overkill for those speakers... 14 or even 16 gauge would be okay.

 

Yea, I meant 1.1000...

Why would a capacitor not help? What about a capcell?
