    and she is pulling what 250amps on a stock alt and battery with no upgrades other then a big cap?

    the amp has 5 40amp fuses on it. So it might pull 200 amps on a good day. These amps much like power acoustic are way over rated. The do put out well if you don't expect much. It will beat those two CVXs pretty well. But I agree with that you are saying. She needs a better charging system.

    But the customer I deal with here is "ghetto" for lack of a better word. They care about the fact that the amp says 5500 on it. Not if it actually puts it out or not. She'll never pay to upgrade the system. At best I might be able to convince her to pick up a small Shuriken or Kenetic that we have here.

    Its been awhile since I posted. But I'm back in the stereo business now. And the shop here sold someone a Power Acoustic "CAPCELL" 800-amp. 2 months ago. She came in today and her woofers basically sounded like they were crying. She thought they were blown. I crawled in and looked and the Capcell was displaying 8.24v and when it would hit would drop as low as 6.96v some time. Basically I don't have any experience with capacitors because I dislike them. But this is a hybrid so I wonder how can I recharge it. Just hook it on a battery charger for a few hours?

    The system is a SPL GRLA5500.1 on CVX154ohm x 2

    Thats the link to the capacitor. Its the 800amp.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    I know that its best to throw away and replace with a HC-800 Kinetik. But the customer isn't looking forward to spending more money. LOL.

    Fits don't really rattle oddly enough. The hatch doesn't rattle and neither does the liscence plate. They move ALOT but don't rattle. now the point where the windsheild meets the roof is going to flex ALOT. So my rearview mirror used to slap against the windsheild from time to time. Usually it would just fall straight off. So yeah be prepared for that.

    When i had the 18 the box came up to the windows with the woofer upfiring and port side firing. And i had to keep the back seats laid down lemme see if i can find a pic.

    thats the first pic i could dig up.

    I was actually considering doing two right behind the front seats and use the box for the whole back end.

    Just with my 4 channel my lights dim. I have an Optima and all 1/0 wiring. When it comes comes to H/O Alts tho the fits CPU limits the alt to 100amp output. So you would need to find a way around that. One of my buddys has a build on a fit that he had ohio generators rebuild his stock alt to put out 120 amps

    I had already left when they were installing it. So i don't know what they did or didn't do. I just got a phone call saying my amp was messed up. When i knew it wasn't. I think if anything it was something they did whilst installing it

    What would cause and amp to automatically pop all 3 fuses when the ground and power and hooked on. Like as soon as the power is put on the fuses blow. I just took the amp out of my car. It was working wonderfully. Put it in a friends truck today and this is the problem we are having. Please advise. thanks

    don't know if you know what 140+ sounds like. But i had a DR 18 with a blown coil. And just for chits and giggles i threw together a box and we put it on a meter with 1 coil and a quick htz sweep. And hit 145.9 I know a 15 in a good box with a solid 1000 watts will do that at least
