more power, add 2nd alternator for more power at 14V Options

[nightrider]

You cannot effectively drive 1000w (RMS) amps using standard 12V battery supply. I have tried every trick in the book and you cannot maintain 14V for more than 10 minutes with the volume cranked up.

I have now added a second high output alternator hooked up to a small battery in the back and two 2 farad caps. This goes straight to my Alpine MRD100 mono block amp, what a sound, sets off car and shop alarms continualsy!!!

The Power Capacitor is an energy storage capacitor. It is designed
to supplement audio amplifiers power supply during high current
demand. The overall bass response of your audio system will be
enhanced with the using of this device due to it´s ability to store a
large amount of current and discharge it in a short period of time.
Combined with a good car battery and powerful DC-wiring will
make you experience a new dimension in the bass sound.
Another significant feature of the Power Cap is it´s ability to filter
car AC voltage induced in the system by the amplifiers power
supply which could cause objectionable noise to be induced into
the audio system. We recommend using a capacitor of 1 Farad
for each 500 Watts amplifier power. You can never have too much
capacitance in an audio system.
INSTALLATION / MOUNTING:
The Power Cap should be mounted as close to the amplifier as
possible and keep the wires short to reduce voltage drop in the
cable. Use the two mounting brackets to fix the capacitor near the
amplifier.
WIRING:
Use the same cable area to the capacitor as the one you use to
the amplifier. The Power Cap should be fused at the battery, don´t
place any fuse between the Power Cap and the amplifier. Mount
the fuse as in the drawing below. Use the same cable area for the
ground wire. The capacitor should be connected in parallel with the
positive feed to the amplifier. Use a power block as in the drawing
below. If you have a model with the power block included on the
top of the capacitor you use this for connecting.
NOTE! The capacitor must be charged before it´s connected
into the system. Read the part about charging before
connecting the capacitor.
