what type of capacitor do i need for my sound system? i have 2 12' cvr, pioneer headunit, soundstream epicenter, and a rockford 325.1 amp

 

NONE!!! You do not need a cap. Would be absolutely wasting your money. They put more of a strain on your charging system!!!!!!!

A cap is a bandaid. Invest in a optima battery and higher output alternator. With your setup, you need neither.

 

Funny, I was gonna suggest the battery and high-output alternator until I read PReals post, now I am just a copy-cat []

 

Someone else has to help be the voice of reason around here.

 

I'm weak......I just can't do it. You will have to go on without me [&o]

 

agreed, caps are just a band aid. Investing the money in a better battery and some wire to upgrade the big 3 would be $$$ better spent.

 

Just like TTocs said the big 3 are to be upgraded first, and unless you plan on running those "sweet" 12's in IASICA or some random SPL comp, then stay away from caps.

 

well with that setup my lights still dim and thats without the electric fan on. i just did the 3g alt conversion and the duralast gold on it isnt even 4 months old yet. what could be the problem?

 

The big three upgrade is a must.

In order to provide sufficent current flow with little resistance, you need to increase the diameter of the 3 primary wires of the electrical system. I used 1/0 gauge on my pathfinder and will use 1/0 or 2 gauge on the mustang when the time comes.
