so why did they invent it if it doesnt do shit? just think about the pounding bass,and the electricity going thru cables,wheres it coming from and where it ends up etc.
because theres a ton of inductance bewteen the alternator and battery in the front of the car and the amps in the rear and you need to offset that with some capacitance to be able to draw current spikes
Its not actually made for what people think its made for, its not supposed to help the drain on your system or any of that crap, its just what a lot of people use it for which is actually bad for your electrical supply.
They are made to clean up voltage spikes in your car. If you read the link i provided before it explains that.
DO NOT GET A CAPACITOR. It is not needed in this situation, it will do more harm then good.
You install your sound system and when the bass hits your lights dim.
You can either A) Get a capacitor (roughly £70 here), put it in, fixes your dimming lights but is actually bad for your car.
Or
B) Do the big three, buy the cable (roughly about £30-£40 here), and maybe an hour or so of your time to do it. Which will fix your dimming headlights and actually help your cars electrical system.
Edit: it's not hard to do big 3, all you need to do is cut wires to length, solder or crimp them and then just undo a few nuts and bolts on your car and attach the wires. Really not hard.
Spent the last year and a bit trolling the Internet about car sound systems, and ive read about capacitors more times I care to remember. Not to mention I used to have one, and my voltage use to actually be worse in my car after I'd put it in. I'd get a slightly bigger voltage dro with it.
oooh, human soundsystem! so you beatbox in your'e car?
In all fairness, I wouldn't exactly take this as prime advice... having read about you and your ventures into buying all kinds of shit.... I'm pretty sure it was down to the capacitor you bought, or how you installed it
^__^
Okay then, well i guess the fact I've given a link that explains why not to use them is not prime advice.
Also head over to http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/
then go down to the electrical section and do a search for all threads with Capacitor in the title. You'll find a fair few, and they all explain why not to use one.
well for my cats?
reason why so much is simple.
this is the best cat litter ive found, and always got it from a local store.
now, they dont sell it anymore, so my only chance is to order it over the web.
and since the site i got it from did offer a 10% discount for new customers i did order quite a bit...so in the end 2 packs came for free and i dont need to worry about it for at least 1 year.
just a reference to your broken grammar in that post i quoted
amusing that you still didn't get it, even when i emphasized it by breaking it even more
