Glad to hear that it's fixed...alot of good info in this thread

 

Congrats Torque, anytime you need some audio advice feel free to PM me. I used to work out of my friends garage for hours fixing and installing all kinds of insane systems.

 

Hey thanx friend! I'm glad you guys are willing to help a joe like me in an area that's not my area of expertise.

 

lol....yeah I was about to pull my hair out...lol. I agree wiht you...alot of great information was displayed in this thread. This is something that should be made a sticky thread for everyone else to refer back to.

 

Yea defenatly a lot of good info on this thread. If I can give anybody really good advice, don't skimp on price when it comes to audio. This is one area that you really get what you pay for.

 

A capacitor doesn't solve this problem. A second batter and H.O. alternator are the real cures. A capacitor will be discharged to quick to be of any help. It will last about 1 beat and then you'll see your needle dip down. A capacitor may store charge, but it needs charge too.

I bought a 1F cap before I learned all about electricity and after going to college for electrical, I would say that a cap is the biggest waste of money on NON-COMPETITION systems. A 500F cap will help you hit that extra db with 10,000 watts, but a 1F cap on a DD setup is pointless.

Review: Get a minimum 140 amp alternator and you will never notice it dipping again because it will have the ability to produce the current you're drawing.
And get a big 3 upgrade, it will help out a lot.
