I have 2 13W6V2's connected to a JL 1000/1 and am also running Boston Acoustic Pro60s on a JL 300/4. I have two monster 1 farad caps and am running with a normal battery and stock alternator. When my volume is up my amp trips on hard bass notes. It would cut and then come back on over and over again. I talked to the guys at tweeter and they told me if I get a 5 farad cap, I will be able to blast the bass as loud as I want without any tripping. I would like to get any other suggestions on what I could do to fix my problem.

 

hello, welcome to the org. there's a forum dedicated to audio/video/electronics further down on the main forums list.

the cap doesn't really help much. what gauge wiring are you running to your amps? they're starving for power.

 

i'm running 4 guage wiring

 

grounding kit, bigger caps, 0 gauge wire, etc. 1 farad caps are good for 1000 watts only.

 

Great info!

 

you know...posting the same reply in all these threads is NOT a good way to start off around here....

 

sell those caps and upgrade the battery and big 3.

 

Sorry about the same posts, but in order to post a new thread I have to REPLY to 15 posts first (apparently a new rule to combat spammers). Since I didn't have 15 posts that I had legitimate replies for, and I had a question to ask, I had to "make up" some replies. My apologies.

 

u need to get a newer battery to keep every thing in sync it messed me up real bad.

 

that big of a system, you might wanna think about a beefed up alternator, or dry cell battery...i know from experience that you will simply be over working your charging system, and your alt and/or battery will get burnt up in a shorter time period...
