Ohhh I love it. I just bought one of these not long ago but haven't gotten to the system in my Total 3rd gen 4runner build. So this ultra cap is going to be running with 192 ah Lifepo4. Those batteries you picked up is what I've been using for years. Headway 38120's. You're going to shit on how much of a difference that's going to make. I built 3 of those that you have. If you get the right bus bars they fit perfectly in a empty 3100 battery box. But yeah, I have Alllllll this power for 10k watts at full tilt. I'mma have power for days and days and days!!! Frick yes!! 😁👍

I've got 2-72ah banks now feeding a xs sb-630 farad ultracap, now my little 7-8k system doesn't stress a bit.

Even at a light thumping, ac and lights on I don't see less than 13.8. If you go that route you'll be happy

To best understand the reason for minimizing the power cable length between capacitor and the amplifier, it helps to understand 2 things. 1) that wires carrying current act like an inductor that impedes or resist changes in current, thus causes voltage drops during momentary peak demands from an amplifier. 2) The second thing to understand is that capacitor's capacitive reactance resist changes in voltage. Thus capacitors closest to the load helps to stabilize the voltage at the load. Points 1 and 2 together helps stabilise the voltage for the amplifier.

so, a way i was taught by an electrical engineer, look at it like a faucet, a bucket and a hole in the bucket. the alternator is the faucet, and the battery is a bucket and the amplifier is the hole in the bucket. the cap is just adding a second bucket the first one can fill faster, but its still at the original mercy of the alternator/faucet. if you bump your setup with 200 amps of draw, you'll only have a few minutes before the voltage drop will not recover due to the first bucket being drained.

I been running lifep04 lithium for about 3 months now and its great. Only problem is trying to run it along with agm batteries. The lithium definitely needs to be isolated from the agm when the vehicle is off bc the lithium has a resting voltage of 13.2 and the agm is 12.8. The agm will drain the lithium if not isolated. I built my own battery and its been great tho. Plan to have all lithium and a bank of super caps very soon.

Yes it is working in this scenario just fine but if the Impedance Rise was less (lets say 1.5-2 ohm) then the output power of the Amplifier would have been more which in turn would have caused the voltage to drop lower.

Capacitors have the quickest discharge. So it is 'preferred' to put it closest to the amp. This way, it can take most of the demand (power-draw) and save your battery the hassle of doing it. But as long as you have it 'somewhere' in the chain, you will see benefits.

I'm only running a 1500 watt amplifier and thinking about upgrading to 2500 but that will be it. 1x VXF 15. Currently, I have a North Star AGM battery under the hood with 840 CCA. 1/0 awg skyhigh+ big 3. My question is about adding a second battery in the back. I have been told I need another AGM and was going to just get another of the same and wire in parallel. Now I wonder if I should be getting an ultra cap instead? The North Star battery is great. Which power source would you put in the back of the car to supplement the North Star under the hood? How would you wire it? I've been kind of stuck on this question for about a month now. I would like to solve it. Edit: stock alternator btw.

With box rise you definitely want to get a bigger amp like if your subs or 1krms a piece you buy a 3k amp be cause your going to rise atleast 2 to 3 ohms and that 3k at 2 ohms will be like 2k so your subs will get the power they need some would even suggest a 4 k amp for a 2krms situation.

I have the Iioxus ultracapacitor uc-31 i have 3 batteries in my car 1st batteries is the car battery in trunk that nothing is connected to just the car power, I don't want to touch that... 2nd battery is in car with a 0 gauge wire from 250amp alternator to second battery than positive and negative parallel to 3rd battery both for sound system lights and tvs in car .my question is how would I connect the ultra capacitor to the battery's inside the car please help I've had the capacitor for 4 months and can't figure it out. Should I replace one of the batteries inside car with ultra capacitor or connect all 3 together if so how will I have to connect the together. Please help

Put it closest to your bass amp so + power wire from amp to + of the cap bank and then + of the cap bank to the + of the battery in the trunk then the - of the cap bank and the - of the amp ground to chasie

Hey I'm running 4 amps and they all don't add up to 8000 watt will this one ultra cap be good??

@JasonWW2000 2 жыл бұрын

It can help supply extra power when the amperage draw surges. Basically helping to smooth things out. Usually these caps are added after you do the big 3 and upgrade the alternator. If voltage still dips a lot, a second battery might be needed. Its usually cheaper. Then if you still need more help you can get these ultra caps.

Does anyone know if my speaker wire to the sub being too small and not connected good cause voltage drop and clipping

@BudgetBassHead 9 ай бұрын

No. Voltage drops are caused by weak power supply. Clipping is caused by incorrect gain settings.

@mastertradersph1182 2 жыл бұрын

Its all worth it. Would a regulator help in order to control the voltage drop and stabilize the voltage flow? Good job bro!

@JasonWW2000 2 жыл бұрын

No, a voltage regulator would pull more amps to maintain the voltage. That's basically what the amp is doing. It's trying to put out more voltage to the sub by drawing more amps. You need power to make power.

Do you have to charge these before installing

@MR66HD Жыл бұрын

13 v with test tone that's awesome people have to remember muis it a lot easier on everything cos alot more dynamic so the cap will have time to get a bit of charge time in between so Voltage drop will be alot less

Great informative video. I realize this is more of a test bench setup, but be careful running 4g to the MD 8k. I clamped over 8100w on mine and sucked up quite a bit of current ~700a :) I use dual 1/0 to 1/0 reducers since I use mine as a continuous daily instead of a burp SPL build. Just subscribed!

So the impedance value will change based on frequency. As you go up or down the power output will change. I would see what the impedance is at different frequencies without recording. Seeing where the current draw is.

Yeah, it could be very dangerous if not done correctly and sometimes dangerous 'when' done correctly. Usually because of other components though. I think a lot of people are going to be a little shocked at what I say about it.

People are dumb with lithium they hook it right up to there 350amp alt that is made for a battery with a high ohm load but lithium is sub ohm stupid low ohm load so the alt never stops charging at full power And lithium has to be charged in a stepdown manner or else it kills the battery real quick
