    with just that little upgrade or any upgrade like such there is no way you could get an audible difference only way would be doubling my power which would in tail 3db increase which is what i believe is the only way to "feel" or "hear" the difference. when i add my new alt from iraggi i would hear the difference since i would also be building a new box which would help keep the box rise or impedance rise as some may know it by. by adding the ultracap bank i might of gained maybe half a db and for me i can live with it since that will help me go into a high class at local shows. what would also help me improve my numbers is replacing the old and slow lead acid battery upfront with a bank of ultracaps to help lower my voltage drop every time "the bass drops". when i do so i would gain a little more on the mic do to the fact i would have instant power with every note only downside my alternator would have a bit of a trouble keeping up with the draw from the amplifier. so in all i would say doing all that would make me happy with my numbers. and yes i will upgrade my existing ultracap bank for 6 3000farad caps from the current 1400f caps. ultrcaps can handle lower voltages and have a "shorter or quicker" time to charge then a traditional battery which means that the power would be right there and would not have to wait for the batteries to charge again just to play another note while the ultracap bank would just keep playing and charging at the same time.

    i put the ultra cap as the second battery and i have to say it is doing wonders for music clamped now at 600watts from 522 now sitting at 3.5ohms from 4 ohms will be upgrading from what i have which is the 6 1400F cap bank to the 2600f maybe 3000f caps will get numbers on music on the 8th since that is the next local show which is glenn burnie maryland. the cap bank is better when i mean better i mean does not clip as early on the cap bank then having a second battery, i'll see if i can  get a better contact with the wires from the ultra caps.

    Man, no one can tell you exactly how much you'll gain or lose with each orientation.  Not without them having done the EXACT same setup in the exact same vehicle and tested all possible orientations with a meter.  Even then those results wouldn't do you any good because there's no way to guarantee what they did and what you plan on doing would be exactly the same.

     

    For someone who's not competing you're awfully hung up on numbers.

    i am competeing just only at local show around my area not ready for my bigger build yet
