    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 learned when they're room temp they don't perform as well as when they're 90-100 deg. 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. Ive got 2-120mm fans, a temp controller in a stout box I built w/2 new and 2 poss coming from each bank n again, that shit is powerfull af brah... Stoked to see what you do with em man.

      Grab it, I got the sb-630 little over half a yr ago. It's good to right where my voltage runs it says no more than 14.3 I'm running at 14.2. Xs power told me I'd get far more out of it since my voltage can fill the caps most the way. I now have 2- 72ah banks of headways feeding the sb630 AND a couple agms. My voltage is seriously solid. 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.

    If you Eliminated your AGM battery. and ran the power supply straight to the cap. you say the cap will not turn on unless it sees power. ok, so why don't? When you turn on your power supply right then and there. The battery will have voltage at the top, thus turning on?

    • @BudgetBassHead
      @BudgetBassHead  Місяць тому +1

      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 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.

    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 have wired at 4ohm final. The sound quality is beautiful but a ran my impedence and couldn't believe what i was seeing. Going to wire down to 1ohm hopefully help with that issue a little. There has to be a way to combatant the rise. Or buy an amp thats way more powerful than whats need to compensate. Id love to hear what youve learned. Awsome videos. O and the rifle is beautiful. Keep up the great work we appreciate all of your time you dedicate to us and all the great info.

      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.

  • @liftedcj7on44s
    @liftedcj7on44s 2 роки тому +8

    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.

    • @JasonWW2000
      @JasonWW2000 Рік тому +1

      Yeah, thats why he is using such large amps, because his impedance rise is so large. Do you know how to change or manipulate the impedance rise? Maybe change the box design? Maybe get some subs that wire up 0.5 ohm resistive?
      How can you even measure real time impedance without a $500 meter? Can a DMM measure it?

    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.

    • @BudgetBassHead
      @BudgetBassHead  2 роки тому +2

      First monitor your voltage. If you dip closer to 10 v then you will probably need another AGM battery. If your voltage dip closer to 12 v then an ultra capacitor will benefit you greatly.

      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.

      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.
