Re: What is this worth? PG Ti 15Farad Cap

age has nothing to do with the failures, pg used shitty copper for the bus bars, and they made a severe design flaw, in order to make the package pretty, and in all one chassis- the way that alumapro does their own caps doesnt allow for the oxidation or the flex issue with the fragile tabs- once you...

Re: power core do they do anything ?

for a 200 amp alternator, yes you are correct, its pretty straight forward, and gotten cheap over the years, the trick comes when you need more than 200, then you need a kind machinist who takes pitty on you and have a love of audio, to figure out how to bracket 3 alternators on a little 2.2 liter, ...

Re: power core do they do anything ?

yes you could do that if your running a small block v8,try doing it on a little 4cylinder, no one makes anything that allows you to double/triple your alternator, then you have to spend time reinventing the wheel,,,,, the original question isnt what is economically prudent, the question was do they ...

Re: power core do they do anything ?

I have 3 in my system and they do work....if you have the rest of the system taken care of..... its kind of like buying 'the one' and stopping there with the system...in reality the amplifier is the easy and fairly affordable part of the install compared to all the other crap you need to do to suppo...

Re: What Ever Came Of The MPH6300?

actually the first price was less than 7000.00, and when I tried to buy the thing, they decided to keep people from asking to own one, that they would raise the price and make it ridiculous- when it was listed for 7k, I was told then that the power supply needed to finished and that would probably b...

Re: Rta meter

there is a pink noise generator on the rta, get a 1/4 to stereo rca connector, plug that into your signal processor, after the head unit- then begin to flat line the eq curve as much as possible- then connect your headunit back into the circuit, leave the controls flat, you are equalized at that poi...

are they pewter gray, or are they the titanium grey- I think there should be an interior code on the glove box door- if they are pewter they will probably be easier to find-....nothing on ebay?

Re: what would you do with a 1 farad cap?

depending on the cap, if its a good 'real' 1 farad cap there is a very good use for it- check out the you tube video by ixos on capacitors- it will make a believer of the naysayers on the forum when it comes to caps- the kinetik hype is just that, hype, its not the same as a 100 farad cap, blah,blah...

Re: is this a stupid idea

if your keeping it forever, it isnt stupid, if you change directions like many do- then you have a fairly rare amplifier, that you have 'changed' forever- if it were a zx350, or even a zx500 wouldn't think twice about 'customizing' it

if your just running straight ipod, really doesnt make a difference what you do sound wise, as your source sucks--- convenience yes, sq no- so a little noise one way or the other will not outweigh how bad your original source is anyway
