Man dont even know if I should go with a mini battery. Injen makes pipes for the stock setup

 

A cap is completely useless it is a show tool, and should only be used in show installs to make it "pretty" it serves no purpose. If you use a mini battery to run your car as well as your stereo your alternator will hate you. You can use a mini battery as your primary battery but you will still need an additional battery in the trunk. You would be better off just relocating the battery to the trunk, or just upgrading your battery to a deep cycle. I recommend Kinetik, they were one of my sponsors and the owner is a great guy.

Seeing he has a crx I'm sure it is....

 

Caps arn't built for sustained power draws... they are designed for peaks. they discharge quickly to handle these peaks, and recharge slowly. a good way to think of them is a 15 watt bulb, next to a strobe. They both may draw the same power over a given time, they just discharge the power differently.

a properly designed system has an alternator that will handle a constant load of the stereo (in addition to all the rest of the electrical load) 99.8% with the capasitor handleing the heavy load spikes of the occasional hard bass hits the other 0.2% of the time.

The reason that Caps get a bad rap, is because they are used as a band-aid fix to an over-taxed alternator, or they are under-sized for the application.

The battery itself should only be used to start the car, or when load of the electrical system overcomes the output of the alternator (for a short time), such as at idle with TONS of load on the electrical system.

If you have a large enough system to be worried about the load on the system, and you plan on running your system at top volume at idle, then I would suggest getting a high output alternator.

 

Man I bought a mini battery 2 days ago and its fine but its a die hard. Im not having any problems with my system or the way it runs.

 

Where can I get (or even find any) high output alternators.

Thanks!

I owned an excessive myself Owners a great guy...

 

if i have an odyssesyy pc680, and i just want to add like a 10" kicker L5, do i need a capacitator? i'll only play it loud when im driving anyways and if im parked ill just leave the car on...so can the mini battery handle like 300-400rms while the car is running?

thanks
