How to install a car audio capacitor

[@JohnEboyee]

What I was looking for started at 2:10 - Resistor and initial charge.

[@slowmotionperformance2744]

I've watched eight vids all suck but this is the best one I've seen. Direct to the point.

[@josephmirabel906]

Thank you for making this simple straight to the point, and clear instructional video!

[@lilspikes81]

Rockville is a great starter build and learner build, understand, you need to get some legit watts to get the sound you want if you are a bass head.

[@ripwaeh]

So basically you need two wires to install everything. Power n ground wires right?

[@uktech]

You say that the 2 farad capacitor is ideal for an amplifier up to 1000w. Is that 1000w RMS?

[@12mp121]

What resistor did you use to start your capacitor

[@electriciandallastx9182]

Thanks for the thoughts you have discussed here.

[@turdfurg47]

Another thing that helps check to see if theres a model of your car with more features chances are it has a stronger alternator swap yours for that models

[@hotwheelcollector16]

Will it still work if you don't charge it the first time

[@ccoleman1978]

Thank you Rockville lady I was doing that capacitor thing for years and I was always wondering what that little grey thing was for but now I'm running a yellow top battery caps too bad they don't make car amps like they used to any suggestions

[@blazeaglory]

You don't need a capacitor for a yellow top? Im running one as well and my system is pretty solid

[@razvanmilasan9889]

So i have to plug in " - " from battery to capacitor too?Or the cable with " - " from capacitor it's actually the "ground cable"?

[@_BangDroid_]

Capacitors don't magically add current to a circuit. It's a trade off, your headlight may stop dimming but your sub amp is getting a less clean supply. After that big bass note happens and the capacitor has discharged, it needs to recharge adding more load on your alternator and voltage dropping for the sub amp, causing distortion that could blow your sub. You're better off upgrading the main power and ground cables, aka Big 3 and or upgrading your alternator. That may seem like an expensive route, but if you've spent $1000+ on your amp and sub(s), forking out to do the power right and prolong the life of your equipment is better in the long run.

[@biga9337]

Finally a basic yet perfect explanation of how to wire it thx for the vid . But I heard the farad 1=1000 2=2000 etc watts so I'm kinda confused I got 2 12" infinity kappa subs 1240w each and a pioneer champion series 1600 watt 2ch amp.. 125a inline fuse n 4 gauge power wires from profamance teqnik said to b good up to 3000w....

[@Woodey79]

It would be good to have something between 2 and 4 Farads. It also wont hurt to have more than you need when it comes to farads. But I would say you would need at least 2 farads with that system

[@zaheers78]

Thanks very helpfull 🤝 video I am indian

[@jeffreywolf5235]

My capacitor has been on the shelf for about ten years now. I don't have the resistor anymore does that make a difference sing how it's been used for about 6 years prior to me putting it on the Shelf?

[@blazeaglory]

Just find one on Amazon or any electrical store.

[@bojanblazevski7829]

hello, I bought a crunch cr1000 I set it up as it was written in the prospectus. But the light is still flashing. I have a blaupunkt gta 4 special 750w amplifier and hifonics zxi12bp (1000w/500rms) subwoofer. Please help.

[@paulfiltermacatuno6341]

what value resistor o ohm for charge to audio capacitor

[@MK7_XST]

I have 2 fosgate p2 12s(400w rms each) running @1ohm on a pioneer amp that is 1600w peak and 800w rms @1ohm. not a huge sound system, but my lights dim. it's in a 2013 vw Passat s which still has the stock battery with the alternator at 140amps. my lights dim when my bass is hitting, and when I use a volt meter on my battery, volts drop from 13.8-13.9 to 12.5-12.9. what's the easiest way to fix this? don't want to hurt my car.

[@johndoe815.]

I used the ioxus ustart ultra capacitor I ordered from down4sound been doin the job every since... No more dimming, on 3500 watts with 1 18"

[@LightsEShadows]

Yeah but in this way the Capacitor will stay always on, even when radio and car are off and so will discharge Car Battery. I need a better configuration, maybe with relay. Or a Capacitor with the control Remote Terminal In, but they don't always have it. Do I miss something ? Thanks for any idea.

[@Endre8]

Most, if not all caps, have a remote wire or a auto turn-off function.

[@otto63dec]

all nice caps have auto turn-off function

[@blazeaglory]

No need to run to amp. Just run from the splitter for power and then find a good ground

[@autoposer0]

So if I shutdown my car, the cap will be still on? It wont disacharge my car?

[@theman4576]

Apparently not

[@blazeaglory]

They have stand by mode when they sense the amperage or voltages or whatever is down. No need for a remote wire

[@StrzBtz]

Thanks for the info!

[@trevermiller5807]

My capacitor is stiffening as I watch

[@CelsatBrenergia]

thank you very much samantha.

[@donking3578]

Should I put a fuse box for the positive wire of the fraud cap? Tia.

[@blazeaglory]

No. But did your capacitor come with instructions? Just wondering

[@thesayayin365]

so installing this capacitor is better than installing a second battery ? my light dimm when the volume is up and idk what to add to my system a capacitor or battery hmm?

[@FSXgta]

No its not better, get a second battery instead

[@ichiboypalaboy]

How much resistor amperes should i use to charge a capacitor?

[@michalzgabur3971]

Hi my capacitor does not show voltage on display whats the problem ? What happends when i connect it without the rezistor first time ?

[@tremainsmith6352]

That's why u install a high performance battery you do not need all that in your trunk i never had it and never will i have Lanzar 10,000 watt'sbeating 4 jl audio 10 inch woofer's and 2 6x9 pop's that are 500 watt's a piece on my lanzar 500 watt amplifier😬

[@blazeaglory]

Yah im thinking the added chance of getting shocked to death isn't worth it. I got a better alternator and a yellow top battery and im running roughly 4000 watts and no distortion or dimming lights. Im in a1990 prelude also

[@elchuyito355]

Now thats a beautiful girl

[@turdfurg47]

How can you tell under all that make up

[@juniorgemini8076]

good instructions girl plain n simple

[@gabrieljimenezjr9472]

Hi i bought the capacitor from you guys last week I installed like In the video and It works but the only thing is that it didn't fix my headlights or inside lights from dimming whenever the bass hits you got any other idea on what can possible be causing the problems thanks

[@airdromeaccount7922]

Gabriel Jimenez Have you done the " Big 3 " upgrade? If not, Google it. See if this upgrade helps your situation.

[@toysareforboys1]

Gabriel Jimenez How many farads did you install? How much is the maximum current draw of your amplifier(s)? I usually recommend 1 farad per 1 amp of current draw (in my case I'm drawing 400 amps so I have a 500 farad cap bank). If you have bone stock electrical (stock battery, stock alternator, stock wiring, no big 3, etc.) then maybe make it 2 farads or 3 farads per 1 amp draw. Let me know if you need more help :)

[@LOV2XRL8RL]

toysareforboys I have a 2000w amp and two 12" 1200w subs. My lights doesn't dim but I have this clock that measures the current from the battery, anyways, it goes from 13.6 to 10.9 when the bass hits. What do you recommend?

[@429BBrown]

I agree with Love2xrl8rl. Get an upgraded high output alternator will be the best fix plus big three upgrade.

[@michaelsimon1286]

Battery. Time for more power!

[@bboytyby]

Omg . Im in loved

[@gideonkloosterman]

I know right? Very nice capacitor!

[@damienholland9244]

She just looks like a regular female in her early 20s nothing special. Take a walk outside there are plenty, sheesh.

[@cebucvladut580]

If i let the rezistor in circuit is something bad???

[@superman0075]

Can I connect a capacitor to two amps?

[@saulgarcialoco]

what capacitor do you recommend for a rockville db14

[@theman4576]

It comes with it

[@seemakrishna9940]

Good explanation ..my friend

[@graffiksxgaming529]

And another thing!! Um... What is the song in the background?!?!?!?

[@BalintNandori]

0:06 music?

[@joaoaraujo8081]

Beautiful, capacitor and lady!

[@ubreakitirepairit3569]

Don’t forget to remind people about the danger of capacitors and how they can be killed by one.

[@sleeks9939]

[@Tree_Chase]

@@sleeks9939 Choking hazard

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Capacitors dont blow up they heat up and leak fluid

[@gideonkloosterman]

@@BassManBobBassCovers They also can discharge an extreme amount of energy in s fraction of a second.

[@thesayayin365]

@@gideonkloosterman you mean drain the battery?

[@alejandrosalazar1282]

Simple video very good

[@gomxproductions]

Great video! Does anybody know if i can use the rxc2d or the rxc4d to run a 24v stable sound system? Thank youu:))

[@Foo-i1v]

She can charge me anytime,

[@tank21575]

Caps are for beginners get lithium Nd aftermarket alternator

[@turdfurg47]

First time i installed a capacitor i got a 23 farad one for over kill and read warning if you don't use the resistor when removing it can blow up i was like wtf

[@chaseyeager5840]

You're can install my capacitor anytime please lube up the screws first before you put it in the hole it's very important and tight please go very slowly the first time 🙊🙉🙉🔩🕳️💩🤥

[@bestbudssmokeshop5587]

So I Just Bought a Good Capacitor and it Says Clearly "DO Not Ground it to the Amps Negative" ??? So whos Right Lol

[@jeyapalanjeyapalan8848]

yes this system is waire good

[@octavioholguin5454]

Exellent video. great voice of presentator girl,very clear and very feminine. Thanks so much.
