I'm running two 253 amp Alternators charging at 14.5 to 14.9 volts. 2/0 ofc charging 3 AGM platinum batteries from O'Reilly I'm running two T1500.1 Rockford fosgate power series amps they clamped 3759 watts turned down a bit and gain matched. the birthsheets show 1938 watts rms I would like to see the voltage stay on the 14s full tilt. Now it can drop to 12.9

When i bought my XS Power cased cap bank from you it ran excellent under the hood in my daily, had it on my JY Power 80Ah lithium battery not 1 issue! Great product!

[@robertedmondson175]

U can also use a test light in place of the resister to charge your caps

[@franshaan7388]

Great video! But what you also need to know is that when your capasitor bank is going low on voltage it will draw power from alternator and battery to get itself up to his normal storage!!! So when you burp it takes a moment to store that voltage again! At this moment your amplifier does not get the voltage and amps it want!!!!

[@bigchungus-oj8zz]

Dam, where have I been? This is some aMaZiNG technology!!! TY, can’t get enough of your videos!!! You R Down4Sound!!!!

[@Tabascorider]

so if I use this under my hood, can I run the charging from the alternator to the super cap bank, than to my lithium in the back?or does it have to be after the lithium?

[@PewPewdoctor]

I work on radio towers and we use big ass ones, that are pushing 120,000Amps

[@SamuelHollandsh]

Thank you for making this video, I hope that you are doing okay, and I hope things get better and better. Thank you, and may God bless. 👍

[@pcrawford001]

Great video. You should consider doing more like this. I search KZbin for info vids like this constantly. Keep killing it jp.

[@r3tr0nic]

Love where capacitor tech is going these days, however I still refrain from using them, as they have to be put in series to obtain 12-16V. This technically requires balancing circuity to protect an individual cap from excessive voltage due to differences in leakages, esp as they age. Many applications I see, do not have such balancing. There are companies working on mosfet controlled solutions for this... But I end up leaning to adding extra batteries and bigger alts.

[@RobTheGifted]

This info (balancing & stuff) is for lithium, not ultra caps.

[@cfmechanic]

I'm looking at these superbanks. I am considering either a 51 or a 34 both same price. I currently have regular group 65under hood and blue optima in the trunk. Want to replace under hood battery with super bank.

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

LOVE my Xs Power Supercap :) Huge difference. Stabilizes the shit out of my voltage, and makes an obvious difference with dynamic range (kick drums and other fast bass notes).

[@JevaughnGraham123]

so it replaces your underhood battery? was anything else affected, your car starts fine every time?

[@robinsonfamily4681]

Will you do a video on types of alternator you will need to charge the Batteries and Super banks?

[@poddog1]

Thanks for the video. I have an agm battery under hood. I have a skar 2500.1. I am wondering if I should go with another agm or a super cap bank or lithium.

[@chrisfiske]

Really like these 45 ah limitless lithiums

[@baileybasshead8762]

Actually the one's advertised as 1 Farad but are REALLY 100k μ Farad, it would take 5,000 to equal one 500 farad bank of ultracaps...

[@ericr106]

That's some great info. Thanks for taking the time to share

[@johnkovich8874]

Is it best to mount super capacitors closest to the amps? This is what i was told.......

[@TheOilburner22]

I know, rookie question. I need some simple tips on designing a 4th order blow through. Coming up with chamber sizes. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for all your videos

[@iinstallrva]

Needed this information!!!! Thanks guy 🤙

[@NonPremiumID]

Sadly, so many no longer use caps- they just go with a big XS battery, a Big3 kit, a secondary battery and H.O. Mechman. I believe in capacitors, though. Some car audio manufacturers, (like Rockfird Corp.) Still use them, in their demo vehicles.

[@xchimnyx]

Uh, super/ultra caps are bigger than ever. The ones that manufacturers use you’re referring to are the ones no one uses anymore because they’re bullshit

[@baileybasshead8762]

Yeah when he was talking about the old school caps, I think they're called electrolytic caps. Yeah I spoke with a rep from a well-known supplier/manufacturer in China who frequents CES every year and when I inquired on a bulk order of caps(electrolytic NOT ultracaps) I noticed that the capacitance ratings were all 1/10th of what's advertised on the market when I asked why that was she told me that there are very few true 1 farad caps (Rockford fosgate is the only one I know of) . Most are .1 of what's advertised(1 farad is REALLY 100k μ Farad [.1 Farad]) She said it's to 'keep the market competitive'... Now the question is, is that reasonably fair for these companies to do this? Or is it just down right fraud or deceptive business practices? You tell me, but there's arguments on both sides...

[@franklast7955]

Always wanted to know how they work for systems. I know how the work on ignition system

[@larrydollar512]

Whats up with the new wheels?

[@bigkato3134]

From my experience XS Superbank and caps work perfectly well with Xs power Lto lithium I'm running a superbank under the hood with a bank of caps with 80 ah of Lto lithium in the trunk just make sure you have a high output alt that charges at 14.8+ the Lto acts just like the caps because of their high discharge and fast charging capabilities plus they have reserve energy great video thanks

[@riveralley]

If you still have it or not, how does the voltage hold up? How do you like it with that eletrical setup?

[@superior3384]

Why are your farads 500 and xs is 3000 what does that mean? Is that the same or is xs have more power. I seen same price difference numbers

[@jase1911]

How big of a bank is recommended for a daily 7k setup? With a underhood agm battery and a battery in the back

[@ditto_75]

You would be better off upgrading to a beast of a alternator. Those banks aren't cheap and in my opinion are for very specific applications. Too answer your question one would need more information. What size alternator do you have? What size batteries do you have? What is your intended use for the caps? If you do not have the current to keep your batteries supplied then a cap is only going to help for a short time then you are back to just sucking the current from your batteries. Like I said before, they are expensive and in my opinion play no role in a daily driver audio setup. A high output alternator is cheaper and a better option unless one had a very specific purpose for using a super cap bank.

[@xelitexsnipe]

ditto yo ditto, i have 2 regular car batterys in my truck, i have a 370 amp alt. Should i get Lithium or AGM? I daily 2 15’s on a taramps 3k. Any info will help me out. Thanks 🤙🏽

[@rhurtadorh32]

@@xelitexsnipe your more than good bro. That second battery is it for your truck? I ask because theres trucks that have come stock with 2 batteries. You can add 1 agm battery i assume you have the big 3?

[@xelitexsnipe]

@@rhurtadorh32 i got an AGM in there now bro

[@waynsmith9538]

So I have a 200 amp alternator, a normal sla battery and my amp is a wolfram o2400. I am experiencing voltage drops down to about 11.5. What do I need to do to cure my voltage fluctuations? Battery, alternator, or supercaps?

[@ericklewis289]

Have you done big 3 wire upgrade?

[@KurtisPape]

Technically it should take 3500 of those big 1 farad caps to be the same as these XS power supcaps. Imagine 3500 rockford fosgate caps in the back of your car hahaha. Rockford and NVX were really the only ones that made a true 1 farad cap but even NVX said straight out they are useless. I dont know though, I work with electric motors and a 70 microfarad cap can start a large 3horsepower compressor on single phase. If i seen a 1 farad cap in the trade it would have close to 200,000 watts going through it

[@jkbrows1095]

Most AGM’s don’t last more than 1,000 cycles and that’s stretching it, so the super caps actually would last about 1,000 times longer than AGM’s. 1,000,000 divided by 50 is 20,000 cycles which would be more like Lithium Titanate which is the only type battery that lasts 20,000 life cycles. I just felt like you were giving the AGM’s way more credit than deserved saying they last 20,000 cycles lol

[@workingclassperson2124]

How do they help your alternator or do they work the alternator more??

[@NonPremiumID]

JP, why is there so much controversy over using caps? Demo vehicles use them. Can you use a combo of XS Power D3400 as such starting battery, than a D4S Lithium system battery AND a XS Power SuperCap?

[@george1on2]

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?

[@chrisviper4418]

Can i hook up a ultra cap and xs Super Capacitor Bank togther with my starting battery

Hey man !!! Love the content !!, hey I just ordered a second DC level 2 4 ohm I have one already still I got robbed for my other one and my nvx jad 1200.1 anyway I was wanting to buy the skar rp 1200.1 but it’s OUT OF STOCK !!! Lol anyway I was wondering if you had a recommendation on another 1200 watt at 1 ohm rms amp around the price of the rp from skar as that’s my budget limit !!! Thanks for all you do man !!!

[@GregRuffino]

XS POWER | D4700 | 2000W / 3000W Battery It is listed as an AGM battery on your web site However The pic. shows it to be a Lead acid battery. Can you please put you hands on one to verify what one you have in stock. AGM or a Regular Lead acid Battery ? thanks. I contacted your support team asking the same question last week, The response I got was, and I Quote Agm is lead acid and yes we have it in stock :) Being that person cant answer my question, Can you Mr. Price?

12000 watt amp what do i need to power it

[@JonHunter80]

hmm, I'm considering an LTO like Titan8 Series Lithium Titanate Oxide bat, or new cyber 6k battery, anyone happen know which battery would be better suited? I already have a 250 amp alt, and plan on buying two banks of caps, but I have a high-end platinum series agm battery, only the cyber battery can be ran along with my agm..

[@rowboyto156]

titan8 uses lishen lto so you can run them with agm or if your car is pcm regulated to 13.8v and i believe limitless cyber 6k is a lifepo4 lithium. the yinlongs are great if your car is not pcm regulated to 13.8v

PLEASE... let me know. Thanks and still great work as always.

[@MadDragon75]

I'm going to test a "Mad dog" cap. I bought one and it's chillin' in the box it came in. I'll test the time it holds a charge. Marine batteries are best if you have any parasitic draw. They are led acid, but have twice the plates and full of acid rather than half full like a standard battery. I'm not comparing them with AGM. I haven't used them. These batteries are used in RVs in banks of 6 usually. Two in the engine compartment, and 4 to 6 in a storage compartment. Those are designed to be drained and trickle charged and a parasitic draw.

[@thatdudesomeghost]

[@ditto_75]

The way you explain it caps are useless in a daily driver. They are for burps only. Unless they charge back up in less than a second they are useless for car audio.

[@Widowmaker2828]

You are correct that is the way he explained it. BUT, he did NOT explain ultra caps fully. He failed to mention that ultra caps charge as fast as they discharge. So in ultra caps ARE in fact useful in a daily driver. The ultra caps will charge between bass beats. Now if you are playing extended test tones then the ultra caps will become less efficient. But with normal music they work perfect. Look at ultra caps as a buffer to keep your voltage as high and smooth (level) as possible. Your amps will thank you.

[@Widowmaker2828]

I also wanted to add that ultra caps are not a replacement for a high output alternator. You will still need one.
