I have a. capacitor that I want to hook up to my system. I am using a MTX 2300 amp with 4 GA. power and ground wire. Does anyone know how to wire it corectly?
I'd sell it and get a good battery, like say an Odyssey PC2150 which will put out 1 kiloamp when shorted. I never see low voltage conditions and my setup has a peak draw of just under 80A.
There is little evidence that a cap is needed in anything other than cheap low-output alternator vehicles. The alternator in the Disco is over 100A output (120A I think) and a red-top has plenty of capacity. I would not bother with a cap.
i got a phoenix gold 1500watt amp with a optima red top pushin 1 audiobahn 12" and the lights dim when its hittin hard. so yeah get a cap. save yourself the headache.
