ICE frankmehta's Fiesta: All Equipment Finalized

abhinav.gupta88 · 27th August 2009, 01:21

I get it. Congrats Frank.
Waiting for your complete installation plus ice pics.

Can't wait to see things going. I would also add a 2 farad cap along with those amps, enough reserve power juice for those amps.

Let go of your lover Lucy did you??

Lots of XXX in here, things going to get dirty or what

frankmehta · 27th August 2009, 11:09

Thanks guys. I dunno about the cap. Will I need one? Its just 2 amps. Both are efficient. The mono is more efficient than even a class d one.

Invinsible · 27th August 2009, 11:39

Frank it's not about just 2 amps it's the amount of current they would need or take up. With total of 1500W those 2 amps will be throwing out, its not that there will be an issue without cap, but I say why not have for that power surge and since you already have such a great system shaping up, why not add one..just incase. It's like what would happen if no sound damping material used at all, not that drivers need damping for them to play, but we all know how much it could help.

frankmehta · 27th August 2009, 17:13

I did a little research. A cap is not needed for this system. I will add one if the current draw from the battery is too high.

abhinav.gupta88 · 27th August 2009, 17:54

There's no need for it frank.
The car is new.
even i was drawing 300 off watts from the 4 channel and around 1500 watts off the jbl mono initially without a cap.

No need for cap....I am running a (2400 + 300 + 240) watts rms setup..no issues faced till now.

frankmehta · 27th August 2009, 20:22

LBM, have you upgraded any of the BIG 3?

abhinav.gupta88 · 27th August 2009, 21:15

I had done BIG 2 Upgrade.
You can go for that.

frankmehta · 28th August 2009, 00:22

Alright fine. My components have been ordered. Most probably shipped from Amazon to the venue from where, delivery will happen to India.

Cheers!

I have done the big 2, that is battery to chassis and engine to chassis. Not done the alternator to the battery. And would recommend you not to get it done because it will void warranty in your case as you will be tampering the alternator wiring.

frankmehta · 28th August 2009, 10:24

Thanks. The big 2 is anyways mandatory since we are adding 2 amplifiers that have a current draw of about 100A at any given time.
Not touching the Alternator wire for now!

greenh0rn · 28th August 2009, 13:03

Frank, which components?

DLS Reference?

frankmehta · 28th August 2009, 13:14

Nope. Dls reference I've not heard. Heard the iridium and didn't like them much.
