I have two power acoustic 12sthey are 1600 to 1800 wattsI have a 1 ohm stable 3000 watt monoblock amp pushing them.It really bogs my lights down.what's the benefits of using a extra battery vs a capacitor.I have a spare battery I could use and also a capacitorand whichever is more beneficial can you explain how to wire it. What kinds of performance gain will I get out of both as far as base wise.
The capacitor would be a better way to go. Another battery would make you have to upgrade your alternator also. So go with the capacitor. Run a 0 gauge wire from your battery to a distribution block 0 gauge in 2 4 gauges out one to the amp and one to the capacitor then ground the capacitor. It will store the unused power and help your battery out. Hope this helps.
