cap is just a bandaid, don't bother. Upgrade the Big 3 and test your battery first.

1st off..how much power are you running?

Get better wire. I doubt you need a capacitor.

I have 0 ga. and I don't have any dimming issues. I know Pearl96Max has 4 ARc Audio amps and 0ga and doesn't have any dimming issues either and he plays his music LOUD. 2ga or 4ga will work.

If you have one amp you can do 4ga from the battery back to the amp. If you have two amps you can do 4ga to a distribution block and then 4ga or 8ga from there to each amp.

I got 0 gauge also, just incase you wanna upgrade in the future you don't have to run wires all over again....

fyi: I get no dimming at all....

Pearl96Max

What is it exactly that makes you think you need a cap? Size amp? power wire run?etc..Like posted above its just a bandaid to a rather larger issue.

Check your alternator, and reground all of your high current grounds.

Whoever this was directed to it was completely uncalled for. Keep it up and you will find your stay here Very short.

Still doesnt tell me what size POWER/GROUND wiring. Or the size of the
amp(s)

Tek-Niq

iTrader: (3)

hey, I'm simply telling you what I have so you can compair it to others so you can make your choice on what you want. I just posted that I have 0 gauge wire like the other member so you can get an idea...


this is what we get for trying to help

you post don't even make sence

3DazeGrace

i think it was directed at Tek-Niq, for what reason i don't know

but it never fails that a moderator swoops in like a falcon to follow up with a bitter cheap shot - both comments are uncalled for imo

but back to business,
Rick, I've been told that getting a yellow top optima battery can solve dimming issues, its marketed as "deep cycle" but you can replace your main battery with it
i haven't gotten one that fits in my max yet, but it should def. fix the dimming issues
a 1 farad cap on those subs isnt gonna do squat
the reason its dimming on bassy (spelling?) songs because there is too much power draw

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

Swoops in? Im here all day everyday.

Cheap shot? Show me where Tek-Niq said or did something offensive...

In YOUR opinion they both may have been uncalled for, but yet I still see nothing wrong with what Tek-Niq posted, he was simply trying to help with info. Not giving somebody the 'finger'. Further more, your first statement..
"i think it was directed at Tek-Niq, for what reason i don't know" So obviously there your saying you didnt find anything offensive either. You then contradict with..."both comments are uncalled for imo"

3DazeGrace

i didn't find anything offensive stated by tek-niq
all i said was that the "middle finger" and "you being hastily mean" were uncalled for

i don't contradict myself

lol sounds like her comment was uncalled for... wait that means mine is uncalled for as well



i got the capacitor for looks, plus it as only 20 dollars.but i thought to get the full 14.4 you need a cap?

It's upgrading the grounding system, particularly:

1.) Battery negative to chassis
2.) Alternator to battery positive
3.) Chassis to engine

Metal Maxima

Caps are totally worthless...look at the majority of SPL and SQ competitors, you will not find a strike cap, but that is not to say the the alternator has not been upgraded.

3DazeGrace

where did u get a cap for 20 dollars???

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

Not being hastily 'mean' just getting my point across, very clearly. As fact as stating the facts, it was uncalled for.

In addition, I still tried to help him with his problem, but he has yet to answer, but to respond to other posts.

3DazeGrace

he posted that he "meant to press the slap face icon" not the middle finger one

then he said my fault

but you deleted his post before anyone could see it... and how wrong you were

what a buncha CRAP

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

You Must be kidding me, I deleted his post? Check again there my friend. I deleted Nothing.

3DazeGrace

Dood i totally read it, i wish i took a screen shot!

i tried to quote his message to prove you wrong, and it wouldnt let me quote

i hit refresh and his post disappeared!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3DazeGrace

well at any rate, the point was he clicked the wrong icon by mistake - the problem with the middle finger icon is that the happy face starts waving and then it turns into a middle finger so you dont expect it

this of course was the cause of the improper icon being used which then caused you slam the gavel down in all directions which caused me to say hey, wtf ...

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

Funny I as well as everyone else can read WHO deleted it. Please dont make accusations till you know all the facts...

This message has been deleted by rick's 92.

HE in fact deleted all of HIS OWN messages. So you still proved nothing on me being wrong.

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

and thats fine, if he made a mistake its a dealable situation. Like I said originally. IF he kept it up...He corrected it, and thats fine. Although like I said HE deleted his own posts, so I had to go in a read them.

rick's 92

are you trying to start **** man well i told you i was sorry about the finger .and i tell you the is what i was going to put. and you said i can type and you guy sad you dont understand me well i am try my hardes to type the way you guy type .

Pearl96Max

iTrader: (151)

BTW..Rick, I could care less about the middle finger in your profile, it was the context you originally posted it with in this thread. Yes now I realize it was unintentional...no harm, no foul

If you really NEED a capacitor, you amps have poorly designed power supplies.....Caps were big in the 80's because it actually helped systems back then- you current day amps are much better designed and if you have dimming issues is because your amps current demands exeed that that can be drawn- increase wire size, as well as grounds-

Try drinking ice cream though a straw....yeah...its not easy for your electrical either

two more caps should make my bass hit a little bit harder, but i need to find space for them

New alternator would solve that. Although changing all of your grounding points should prove to be very beneficial. Especially in Nissans where there wiring tends to lack a bit.

i have major dimming issues, my headlights dim, im running probably around 2200 rms, 2 gauge all around, grounding points have painted scratched off but my battery is still original nissan from 2000 and i will upgrade all the wiring in the engine bay that does with the grounds
