yea i just bought a whole bunch of terminals and connectors, everyting is unplugged and im trying to make it look neater. im ge also getting some wire loom

 

wire look and zip-ties are pretty useful

 

ok everyting is tooken care of postin pix tommorow

 

I dont want to refer to as 'crazy' but rather misinformed. A cap is just another useless accessory that yes it does pull from the alternator.

Caps are useless, just a really great marketing scheme.

 

yes almost everyone i know with a system has a cap

 

caps are a waste of money, i rather put that money into my gas tank instead.

 

the one i have is cool, it lights up and tells the time

 

It doesnt take much to amuse you huh?

 

Its a giant can of red bull. It gives his system winggggggs

 

more like dead weight

 

its a bomb




lol my boys at school think its nos, but hey 20 dollars you cant go wrong. my dealer was actually trying to get rid of them basically throw them out i was like heeeeeeeeeey that shiny thing would look nice in my car, and they gave me wires and stuff

yo the funniest thing ever, this dude comes in and wants 2 alpine typer 12s but they didnt have at the time, i think it was in november. so my dealer sold him 2 kicker cvrs for the hell of it, the thing was one of them was a dvc4 and and the other was a dvc2.

the funny part was he asked for a cap, and she said wich one, 1 farad 2 farad. etc. so he was like how much is the 5 farad cap, she goes 340. and hes like ill take it. lolll

 

I added an Optima Yellow Top. I was told Caps were a waste of $20. I will have the stack alternator re-strung to support a 200 amp current. As soon as the interstate in the stock location dies, It will also be replaced with a second Yellow Top. The only reason I added the extra battery is the Diamond Audio D6 1500.1 has 4 40 amp fuses. Anything else I should try. I also have been considering an engine grounding kit to upgrade the wires that make up the grounding system. Is this worth my time?

 

Yeah Ive heard the engine grounding kit works. Chris who is redoing your alternator and for how much? The only 200 Amp ive heard of is from Cam Am motors in tampa, and its $400ish.

Yes caps are a complete waste assuming you have a good amp with a fully regulated power supply, etc.

 

Not sure who it is. My installer said he has a guy locally. I need to research this. He said that these high output alternators are just stock units that are disassembled and respun with new and more copper. The aftermarket alternators are too big for our 5th gens. Not sure if this is true but I have looked, there isn't any extra room down there. Basically, You need a stock alternator and someone to rebuild it.I am going to see if studman can get 4gauge in bulk. I will just need the connectors. Do the ppl you contacted in Tampa have a web site?

 

No unfortunately Can Am motors doesnt have a site but I have been thinking of just stopping by to see if they have any ideas or thoughts. What exactly do you need as far as wire and connectors, because Metra will usually give us a decent discount for CC roadshop people. Let me know....hit me up on AIM, same name as on here

yeah id do the magic 3 with 2 or 0 gauge for your system chris.

 

Not bad not bad at all

 

What?!

 

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS?????????????????

Of course, from reading what everyone posted, I'm kind of glad no pictures are showing up.

Which setup is this 2 Da Max???? 17th????

 

Hell I'm ammused by a poor moth being stuck between the grill and my sub. Dang thing didn't live too long only down side.

So I'm sure if I'm amused by that... something FAR LESS can ammuse our good buddy 2 Da Max

 

I think we may have found a guy that is worse than 2 Da Max... at least he admits it's a mess.

Now I'm not sure if I should put this up there... but hey why not.

We should start a poll to see if 2 Da Max should come up with something crazy again, just to regain his spot for " Member of Maxima.org"

Cause this new guy is starting to freak me out a little.

 

like 2 live crew...hes BANNED IN THE USA!

 

He is?

 

wtf? this thread is sooo old. that system is soo sold. eew i cant beleve i had that crap

 

We can!!...

 

I still have nightmares of seeing that setup.

 

Thank god it's not showing up then. Cause I have enough nightmares about water leaking out of an exhaust... cause the eclipse turbo that is installed

 

No, the pics are still there.

 

Yeah, I know they're there, but the server I'm on limits it... so all I get is the red X.

 

those wires are a mess, you need to clean that up some how
...then post pics again

 

uhm what part of dont got that system no more nucca dont you undastand?

 

 

wtf?? i dont have a system bro, i have a 2 dollar clarion hu that is ugly as fawk, a busted bose speker in the front door. and one in the back with some no name 4 inch speaker in the back. i have 3 speakers, the car sounds like shieett

 

and it looks like....nah it actually looks good. at least 2 da max is learning his old system was not good and will improve on it.

 

werd that system was a waste of money and time.... still the cleanest and loudest system in the hood!

 

ummm, ashamed of what?

of having a system that makes everyone else's look like $hit? lol

dude that installation looks extra clean to me, maybe on my standards........

Damn, u gotta let me listen to ur system again next time i go.

 

Alright! First off, if any of you actually knew about how capacitors work, you wouldn't say that caps are useless. You probably can't tell, but they do work. A cap not only STORES electrical energy in an electostatic field, but it also opposes changes in voltage.

 

now where's friendhasmax when you need him...

 

lol Eric will flame the sheit out of that post. memphis sktr, it just another stressor for your altenator bro.

 

I feel a flame coming on for this one...

Oh and memphis sktr... I spent 2 years in Industrial Maint & electronics.. I know exactly what a cap is for... and it's pointless on a subwoofer system unless you're overating your alternator... and even then you're just going to fry it sooner.

A cap is originally designed for a instant burst of power when there's a drop in power. So for that little chance to make sure your amp has constant level voltage.

Your alternator now has to recharge it, meanwhile the system is still going, and getting less voltage than it would with a constant HO alternator.

You want to know what a cap would be good for... charge it up, then take two wires and prod somebody...
