Very beautiful work under the hood Would you mind showing people the correct way to charge these up? I do have instructions and deal with a lot of these but now I see why people buying them from me are going to turn around and blow it up and then look at me crazy do not charge off of a battery if you just got this Use a maintainer low amp and you can strap a voltmeter onto that super bank while charging it. The idea is to pull away voltage slow charge as possible percolated and that charge means the most. I made mine stretch out over a two hour period and today it rips 15 three steadythree years later

[@arqdanger2118]

Love the video but I’m just wondering switching from a car battery to a super cap bank, how does that improve the electrical system?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

First: Caps have considerable faster discharge/recharge rates than an AGM making it perfect for hard hitting bass. Second: since there is no conventional battery (lead acid, AGM,etc) I can run everything together with no isolators and no issues. Thats how it is now better for my application.

[@autumncruz8235]

I’m just now seeing this video and I just wanted to tell you that your installation is sweet. I just got a 04 Suburban a couple of months ago for my very first attempt at a real system. I have already gotten a dual alternator bracket for it as well as a Taramps Smart Bass 5K amp and a Sundown Audio NSV4 D2 18. Unfortunately my house burned down and my wife and I lost everything including our dog in the fire. That being said I have had to put my plans on hold for now until we can get everything back on track again. I’m looking forward to getting two of the Mechman Elite 400 amp alternators and some lithium batteries to power everything as well as some more subs and I would love to have a SALT 8 or maybe even a SALT 12 to pull as much power from the alternators and batteries as possible. I would love to get your input on what you think would help me build something truly epic for my first real system. Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge with everyone.

Looks so awesome. Question, if you do a battery delete and put a supercap bank like you did do you still do the big 3? Which i see you have your 0g from both alt and 1 0g ground from each alt to battery negative so would you do a 0g from the super cap bank to your frame? Or would all that be done off the lithium bank in the rear?

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

I'm running the SB 500 super cap in my truck and love it. I had been told it was always best to have the super cap as close to the amps as possible, but that the battery was not "as critical". Any reason your not running the lithium up front, and the super cap closer to your amps ? honestly, I don't think "either" really prefer to be located in a hot engine bay... Any way you could move both of those to the back ???

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

The way I see it is if one of the biggest names in the car audio power game (xs power) makes under hood Supercap battery replacements. They know what they are doing. If it was not a good idea to do I dont think they would produce them let alone people buy them. I am holding strong voltage running my 12k @ 0.3 ohm now pulling 17k watts. So could not be happier.

[@martyzuno4807]

So the 12k doesn’t need anything between it and the Alternators? I always thought lithium needed different charging.....what a killer set up ...I want to run simiLar power supply but not as much amps needed ... cyber 6 k and one nice alt maybe ... I’m gonna follow

I’ve watched your other video on how to measure resistance and voltage drop. I’m seeing very minimal voltage drop between my battery and amps. However, after measuring the resistance of my ground points I decided to measure the resistance from battery positive post to the distribution block in the rear of my vehicle and it was about 5 ohms. Can you explain what level of resistance you should have on the positive run to the back of the car. I’ve used 0 gauge. I plan on doing a big upgrade pretty soon, so I’m just curious about what level of resistance I should be looking for.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

I have barely any resistance. Did you touch the probes together first to subtract any pre resistance before measuring? I’ve made that mistake before when measuring coils

Your voltage is dropping too low. Amplifiers make less power when voltage drops and clipping can occur. You have a sweet alternator. I think a battery upgrade would help the voltage a lot. You would be louder as well if you can keep your voltage up.

Yes sir

[@johnkovich8874]

Do you recommend running wire from the alternator straight to the rear batteries (and front battery)? Or just through the front battery first?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Either way is just fine. Both are great options

[@johnkovich8874]

@@NextLevelCarAudio thank you for responding.

Where did u get the zip tie mounting tabs? Can u tell me what their called?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Search Amazon for zip tie saddle mounts. You will see plenty of options :)

[@timothyfreeman7599]

Love the build where did you find that size of wire loom

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

It was on Amazon, I don’t recall the specifics tho

[@timothyfreeman7599]

Ok thank you

[@RobTheGifted]

3/4 wire loom (TechFlex)

If I do the same as you did replace battery for a super capacitor, can I still use my car as a daily driver ? Haven't installed my 12k yet I heard same thing you said bout dealing with some voltage drop with the battery isolator.

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Yes sir! I drive mines almost every weekend now that I’ts getting nice out. No problem what so ever.

How did you beefed up your stock alternator?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

I Did not do it, I got it from a online retailer that remanufactures them

[@shoebmalik4083]

@@NextLevelCarAudio okay. Thanks

[@SleepyBoiii]

Hey man im from your previous.vid, you sent me here. So basically you ran 2 runs of wire from each alternator to the front battery correct ? & from the front battery 3 runs to your rear battery bank correct ? Also 1 ground from each Alt & 2 runs of ground to your rear battery bank ? Hopefully i dont bother asking for so much lol i want to make sure i order enough wire & do it right the first time

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Exactly! But the under hood unit is a super cap not a battery. I did not want to run an isolator, so ditched my AGM for a XS super cap bank that can connect to my rear lithium back without issues

[@SleepyBoiii]

@@NextLevelCarAudio can i use a super cap as well ? Even though i dont have lithium in my rear ? Is that the way to go, my system will be close to 15k watts , ill have 2 400Amp alts & 3 d7500s. What would you recommend for under the hood?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Hell yes! My xs Supercap bank really helped with recharge rate for those big bass hits. I think it’s totally worth it and they go great with AGM!

[@dudedude7998]

do you have vehicle grounds

[@10krms8]

What u think of the cyber 12k compare to the older 45ah one working on a set up i will b running a salt 8k at half

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Same basic technology but Cyber 12k faster recharge and discharge rates. So the 38ah is superior to the 45ah. Both good choices tho

[@eugenejohnson8635]

Where did you get them battery ends 6 -0 gauge wire

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Down4sound. SHCA also had their version

[@drjd2real]

What is the point of running 2 grounds to the back?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Direct connection instead of only using chassis. It will never hurt to overly ground your electrical.

[@edwardbaldwin4252]

Did run your wire through the fire wall or underneath the truck?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

Through firewall

[@eldiablito1776]

Question 🙋‍♂️ I have 2 zv5 D1 15” and a sundown SFB 8k what battery do I need and how many

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

1 cyber 12k did it for me when I had 2 15’s on a 12k.

[@rogelio2931]

Hey, I got an upgraded alternator and an Optima Yellowtop under hood. Can I add 1 of these XS super bank caps in the rear for a 5500watts rms system?

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

That would be perfect. For sure

[@mr.numbers6174]

I'm curious u not red wire everything else in the truck is red???? Throws theme off..

[@NextLevelCarAudio]

That’s funny... I actually think it sets the theme. I like the contrast and how it pops. Everyone has their own taste. I could have done any color, but in the end, this is what made me happy 😃

[@johnkovich8874]

I thought it was recommended to have capacitors closest to the amplifiers.
