Beats the hell out of the cost of a capacitor. And I do plan on upgrading the factory speakers later on.

 

Good.

Come to us for the rest of your car audio needs.

 

You can count on that. Thanks again.

 

Just curious.

What setup are you running?

And who told you that you needed a cap?

 

It's a setup that I mostly got from a friend of mine.

This portion of it is getting installed on Thursday.

It has 2 JL Audio 10W1's that are 150 watts RMS A piece.
A 1000 Watt Kenwood Amp that produces 160-170 watts RMS on the each of the 2 channels.

This portion will be installed later. I'm waiting to see how the 2 10's sound with the Mach 460 system already installed.
Then I got 4 Pioneer 6x8 3 way speakers that are about 50 watts RMS a piece (240 max)
A Kenwood 400 Watt amp to power those.

And if I can find tweeters to replace the 4 that came with it, I'll replace those too. I'm looking at the Alpine 3.5" tweeters, but I'm not sure if they can cut the opening 1" bigger (the mach 460 comes with 4 2.5" tweeters).

And a friend of mine told me that I'd a capacitor if I didn't want to fry my alternator (apparently this happened to him).

All and all I don't think it's a really bad setup considering most of it I got for an incredibly cheap price. But I'm definitely not an expert on car audio.

 

Your friend probablysuckedhis altenator drydue to carelessness.


Kenwood [:'(]

 

Possibly. It wouldn't surprise me.

 

So DONT add a capacitor. Upgrade the alternator. Buying a new transmission isn't going to prevent your motor from blowing up if you just added a blower and nitrous.

The system won't sound too bad, if you get it all for a decent price of course.

 

Anybody know about the 3.5" Infinity Tweeters and whether or not I can have the opening enlarged by 1" to replace the Mach 460 2.5" Tweeters?

 

You cant (shouldn't) just add a tweeter, you need a crossover. And the ones built into the mach amps, is junk. If your going through this much you might as well get a component system. Or just leave your Mach tweeters in for the time being.
