I notice no one read my old post anymore so i post another one
Currently using:
Sony MP3/VCD Header 50W
MTX 12"
Clarion 640W should be a 2 way
JL splitz front, Sony explode 6X9 rear
Everytime my sub hits hard, the voltage meter needle shows drag lota power from it, if i use my old boss amp just to run the rear speakers, header for splitz and amp for pure bass would that reduce the power drain or even worst?
Or what's the best way to set it up now to fix the sub power & power usage? I was thinking of putting earth wire too, would that help?
A capcitor should be installed along side your subby. This will charge under normal power and when the subby kicks hard it draws a butt load of power from the battery(more than the battery can handle) the capacitor discharges making up for the batteries short fall. The effect is that you don't see any dimming or voltage drop.
The capacitor you need is a big one when I say big I mean in terms of the one you see if a TV circuit board is in the pico farad or nano farad range... you need a big one in the micro farad (as in 250+micro farads) -> farad range....
So get your self down to a reputable car sound place and buy one that suits you.... the bigger the Capacitor rating the bigger the cost.
