i need a power cap



  K20 EG Hatch


above, nothing special just a basic power cap. someone said maplin do em for £50 an cant see em on the site.



someone please help
 


and you need a power cap because????

In my opinion they are a waste of money. How about a bigger battery instead. About the same price and twice as effective.

LOL ok m8

thats why JL demo cars have them, ok m8, grow up, tell u what i would prefer to have 2 gell cell bats than a cap...
 


im not having a dig but when u can get a cap for 50 quid and just for a mrd m500 amp which iv not long done its worked a treat id still say if ur doing alot more depending on car get an altinator mines only puts out like 70 amp or summit cause if uv got a big bat you still need to power it dont u
 


you should not need a cap for that one amp, i was running two reasonably high powered amps off my standard battery, never had any issues, a bigger capacity battery is a better option

plus id never listen to a word bass junkies say, theyre only after your money
 


The most logical thing I heard on this subject, you cant get out more than you put in, no matter what you do.

Hence a cap will keep the power levels smoother but ultimatly you need a more powerful alternator and battery.

ok what about a power cap, better battery and more powerfull alternator!

will just see how it is off the standard battery an alternator!if i get any probs will look into it a bit more!

cheers for the suggestions!
 


CAPs do sod all

How do u think they charge them selves , off ur battery thats how so ur draing even more power from the batt

uprated alternator or better/bigger batt is the only way

Demo cars run them cos its something else they can sell to jo bloggs in there shops
