Stable power supply with capacitors and power caps

The operation of powerful amplifiers often leads to voltage drops in the vehicle and has a negative effect on the sound quality of the car hi-fi system. So-called power cap capacitors provide a remedy and stabilize this area. The top sellers in this category are: Stinger SELECT SSCAP5M 5 FARAD CAPACITOR , Hifonics HFC2000 CAPACITOR 2 FARAD , Rockford Fosgate RFC10HB CAPACITOR 10 FARAD . If you want to jump straight to the most popular brands, we recommend you take a look at: Stinger Electronics , Hifonics , Rockford Fosgate . .

Why are capacitors important?

capacitors serve for efficient regulation of voltage drops and are often used in combination with an additional battery. A capacitor stores electrical energy and releases it again with a stable voltage. Compared to batteries, this has the advantage that capacitors can release the current more quickly and thus support the amplifier performance.

How do capacitors affect the sound experience?

Since the standard power supply in the car is not designed for additional consumers, voltage fluctuations often occur. The voltage buffering provided by a capacitor prevents these fluctuations, which ultimately results in a clean audio playback It is important that the capacitor is as close as possible to the amplifier and the distance is less than 30 cm.

What do I have to pay attention to when using it?

Before connecting for the first time, the capacitor precharged For this purpose, our Masori charging resistor is used. If the capacitor is not precharged, the low-resistance battery delivers a high current until the capacitor is fully charged. This leads to extreme aging of the battery, which significantly shortens its lifespan. It is also important to ensure that the output power is appropriate and that the capacity (Farad) is high.

Which manufacturers does Masori distribute?

Currently, our range at Masori includes capacitors from the following manufacturers: Audio System, ESX, Ground Zero, Hifonics, Masori, Massive Audio, Rockford Fosgate, SECH , Stinger.

Conclusion

Buffer capacitors are a practical addition, to avoid voltage fluctuations in the power grid. Our extensive selection includes numerous models with different output powers and storage capacities. Finally, the use of capacitors has a positive effect on the sound quality.
