A Capacitor is worthless because it doesn't do anything. It's just one more thing your alternator has to charge. All they do is hide the symptoms of an inadequate charing system (alternator and battery)
It's also not an argument, just the way it is
About going to Best Buy or Circuit sh.tty and listening, they're all in pre-fab boxes and will sound like ass |
An inadequate charging system? Are you serious? The alternator / battery setup that comes factory in any vehicle is designed with the soul purpose of maintaining the electrical supply and demand of what is already there. Sure you could beef it up with a larger alternator and a better battery, but if someone is going to run any type of serious power, I think they would rather spend $100 on a 1 farad then friggin $500+ on a new battery and alternator. So in retrospect, adding a capacitor to an audio system is beefing up your charging system. Show me ONE competition system that pushes any major power and does not include a capacitor. Or an upgraded charging system.
And as far as living in the car audio world, I used to. But I still follow the trends and products. The installer / fabricator that I pretty much apprenticed under works for East Coast Audio Concepts. They are responsible for Bill Woods Zapco / JL / Kimber Kable VW Beetle. As well as many other cars that have place highly in many SQ competitions for many different sanctioning bodies. I also helped design one of their DB Drag vehicles.
The company you posted is not known by anyone I know of. It does not mean they are not good. I was just saying I know nothing of them. If it was Diamond, or Audison, or Zapco, or even Focal it would ring a bell. All of which are companies I have either owned or played with.
I've been doing this for 14 years. I am sure I forgot more about 12 volt theory then you will learn.
I am not trying to be an asshole. But EVERYTHING you have said, has gone against conventional car audio knowledge. AND you post a company neither I or any of my installer friends have heard of. :/
