Capacitor Needed..?

[Riichard92]

Basically ive got my two subs installed now with my amp, however when I try and have my air con it turns the head unit off because both are trying to draw too much power.

So ideally i reckon i will need a capacitor, do i need to look for a specific one or will any one do? i dont really want to spend too much i just want something to do the job

bigger battery time and may be aultanator too, some one who knows more will come and say why power caps are crap

Power caps are glorified door steps nuff said. What exactly are you running?

 

[Riichard92]

Two hifonics subs 450 Rms 900watts peak and a vibe 800 watt subwoofer

So hopefully some 0 guage cable?

I meant 800 watt amplifier lol, anybody know a solution ?

Is that 800w RMS. Even if it is you aren't drawing that much power. I would suggest that there is a problem somewhere. Maybe loose connection on the battery? That would cause issues. Have you tried a different head unit.

 

[Riichard92]

its not 800 rms its just a 800 watt amplifier, i had it installed at a proper legit place but i have got a spare headunit should i install that?

Thinking about it more. They havnt connected the HU to the zircon for some reason? If it is a legit place then I'm sure they will be more than willing to help you find the problem. Where was it? You never know I could know them.
In the mean time trying the other unit would be a good idea.

can i connect the zircon myself or is it too much effort? and i got it installed at a place called rs fleet. also if i install the new head unit is it simple enough to make the head unit turn off with the ignition?
