The TRUTH About Car Audio CAPACITORS! Testing a CHEAP 12v Capacitor VS IOXUS UltraCap Supercapacitor

It's time to settle to debate once and for all with our awesome new Ultracap!!! Are all those cool looking capacitors from Amazon and Best Buy really solving the problems people are buying them for? Do they help with overall voltage drop? Will they increase RMS wattage? What about MAX watts? Well, let's put the myth to the test by testing and comparing with an awesome new product: The Ioxus Ultracap Supercapacitor Module. That's right, guys! We'll even highlight a VERY DIFFICULT test to perform with Tony D'Amore's DYNAMIC POWER demo at the end.

the key to a cap working is it HAS to be near the amp it is feeding...that is why the 1f showed positive results. Good video Exo!!!

I wire my liion bank right next to the amp within 1 foot for this very reason . It is huge to put whatever your backup bank is right by the Main amps

I’d like to see a video of this cap vs a second battery...

[@donnronnbagger1727]

Yeah thats definitely a good question. Bc I'm not 100% sure if I'm gonna need a second battery, but first I'll be upgrading to a 300a Alt and then a better battery to start off. And Hopfully that's enough, but if not I'll be in this conversation myself.

[@_JoeMomma]

DonnRonn Bagger I feel like it’s all subjective to your system and what type of power you are pulling so everyone’s is gonna be different but, I bet another battery with a high output amp wouldn’t hurt lol

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

A super cap will charge and discharge faster than a battery but won’t have as much actual energy storage. This cap would likely keep the voltage steadier, as long as the alternator can keep up. the battery would lose voltage during big draws but over all have much more stored energy, kind of a tortoise and hare scenario. It depends always on whats being used and how it is being used. Remember you need energy to charge the cap and the battery so the Alternators output is key too how much power u can create over a given time. Batteries and caps all store energy they just do it in different ways, The alternator is the only thing creating energy

[@Des420]

@@donnronnbagger1727 You don't need a 2nd battery, but if you're investing in a 300a alt, it does make sense to invest in another battery or two as well.

[@donnronnbagger1727]

@@Des420 yeah what I was thinking was after putting in on a 300a alt, I just wanted to get the best possible battery that I can, not sure of what my exact needs would be right now, but from that theory, I'm wondering if I will still need another battery in the back, or a cap, or would my system be fine with the 300a alt and a good battery something with over 1k cold cranks, I'd have to look into Ah and all that to see what is my best option. But I'm hoping the 300 alt will be key to not needing a million different pieces of equipment you know

[@Project2505]

As a ASE mechanic and mecp certified advanced level tech I can say that if you are pulling that many amps that your alternator is slowing and causing your belt to slip you are definitely pulling at least 110% of that alternator you need a bigger alt and need to look at the belt, tensioner pulley to make sure it is applying enough tension to the belt so it doesn’t slip And keep up the good work on these videos very informative and very easy for newbies to follow. Great work and thank you.

Whoever said caps suck is those who bought a cheap 1 farad one. Whover said caps are good is those who bought a good capacitor. Ending the debate thanks EXO!

I agree I had one in my car . But i do have 2 battery in the car. One for the car IT self. One for my audio systeem in the back. This way a faster way to sent Amps .

Back in the day we used caps to save the alternator. Older cars often had like 40amp max alternators. With a big amp they used to pull more power then the battery and alternator could handle, especially over long periods of time. A decent capacitor was often used if you didn't like replacing alternators or push starting your car

I hit 146 and 163 the second time. Nothing crazy. 3 12" pioneers with the diamond plating subs in custom made boxes and a 15 inch kicker xpl square sub which just came out at that time.

[@chrisgeorge1024]

I run a 3 farad cap on my system I’m running 2 sdr skar 12’s and a 1100 watt Memphis class d tuned with a o scope. I also have a platinum agm battery and big 3 done. No problems at all. I stay at 12+ volts in the super low notes 13+ normally no matter how loud and long I run it. I think comparing the two that you did is still kinda misleading to new comers. It all depends on what subs and amp you are running for how much power you need. In my case there is no need to buy a 400 dollar super bank. I’m not running that much power. Doing everything else correctly helps the most like battery, big 3, proper grounds, proper sub wiring. I’m just referring to the smaller systems like I have that get played a lot. I’m not doing demos or hair tricks just personal enjoyment in my work car. So comparing “apples to apples” as you say could still be confusing to new to systems people.

[@WariorMageThief]

Yea it wouldn't matter if you had a cap regardless. Your battery is pretty much an ultra capacitor. Especially if you have a nice quick discharge agm one like yourself. One farad is good for roughly 50wl watts. After that it's useless untill it charges again. Which it then does, sapping strength from your amp, then when it's charged, it finally shoots it's little load and it starts the cycle over and over and over. Getting a capacitor for a low power system makes no sense because you wouldn't need it. The phrase is "one farad per 1k rms" if your not pushing that why even bother? You're better off either getting a better alternator, or battery and then upgrading the stock wiring. If youre pushing over 1000 rms I'd say then you would need an ultra cap, because like I said one farad is good for ~50 watts vs bam ultra cap with dozens of times the capacity of the shitty $120 fuse you just bought for your low powered amp.

I made my own up to 16V 500 farad capacitor bank using 6 3V 3000 farad cells connected in series without any electronics 2 years ago. I put all that in a foam padded plywood box and just hooked up in parallel with my car battery. My car never has a problem cranking over and I have no voltage drop at all with my current 1000W audio setup. I can start my car several times without the battery using this too so it doubles as a jump start booster pack.

Been watching you since you had 300 subscribers keep up the content bro you thought me a lot of stuff BTW 😏I have now a crechendo 1500.1 running a zvx-2 12 in a 3½cf tuned to 34hz

I have a 30 farad power acoustik capacitor. How do I know its still working when the led numbers stopped showing number? The blue leds on the capacitor still turn on but never shows the battery voltage numbers.

Always loved the idea of having a cap but wasn’t sure if it actually helped. Thanks for the informative video...something to think about.

I'm installing a capacitor bank in the trunk for my audio system. I already installed a cut off switch. Do I need any other fuses besides the one next to the battery?

Thanks for the information on capacitors. I have always wondered.
