ok i'm a newbie..there i said it so plz bare with me
i was talkin to my friend the other day about my system-to-be and he said
"ohya, make sure you put a capacitor in"
soo....what would a capacitor do? and whats involved?
ps. i have these two 12" subs called "super Q" 's there very good quality and thump good but i have no idea who makes them..can anyone help?
thanks
paul tha :pimp:
A capacitor maintains a constant voltage going to your amp, puts less strain on your battery and alternator and sometimes is said to make your subs hit harder. :super: now you don't need a capacitor to make your system hit hard but if you don't want your lights to flicker and you want your electrical system to last longer I'd get one. The suggested size is 1/2 farad for every 500 watts that your system puts out so if you have a 1000-watt system use a 1-farad capacitor. If you chose to get one it should come with instructions so I won't go into how to install it for now hope this helps.
yah ty...it helps indeed.....i have an explod (which has never skipped) and these wierd 'super Q' 's which are awsome (2 12" ers)
no one's heard of super Q's?
ive heard of super q's and they arent that good. they are just like super pros and i dont know who makes them but i know that they are absolutely garbage. theres a place called 7 mile fair around here and they sell them for 15 dollars a 12 inch sub. i dont know who makes them though
man these things are anything BUT garbage, i paid $50 CAN for them with a good box, and they pound..the materials are very druable as well
Fifty bucks?? I think that your idea of durable material and mine are quite different. My buddy got some 50 buck "Shakers" lol.. they pounded good for all of 10 minutes before both of the cones ripped.
But anyways, it's obvious you're on a low budget for stereo. So good luck with that, but don't try to make these things too perminate in your car. From the sounds of it they'll probably blow real real soon.
