Through years of engineering expertise, hand craftsmanship, and critical testing procedures, we have created a wide range of products that reproduce music with all the clarity and richness you deserve. For maximum performance we recommend you have your Audiobahn product installed by an Authorized Audiobahn Dealer, as we provide specialized training through our Audiobahn Installer Training Programs. [. . . ] Stiffening capacitors are able to store large amounts of energy in preparation of these bass peaks. When a bass peak occurs, the stiffening capacitor delivers power to supplement the system voltage and prevent amplifier clipping. This retains amplifier output power, thus improving bass response and increases amplifier and speaker life span. Another beneficial effect of capacitors is their ability to filter the current produced by the vehicle's alternator. This alternator current, can cause noise (alternator whine) in the audio system. A capacitor will help reduce or eliminate this "alternator whine" and popping. We recommend using 1 farad of capacitance for every 1000 watts of amplifier output. This is a general rule of thumb and may be adjusted up or down depending on the efficiency, current draw, and design of the amplifiers being used. 4 Specifications Model: ACAP651N DIGITAL HYBRID AMP STYLE 12 FARAD CAPACITOR BANK W/DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS Capacitance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12, 000, 000 micro farad (12 Farad) Working Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24DC Surge Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28DC E.

If the capacitor is connected incorrectly by reversing the positive and negative wires during the installation process, the PCB will issue a 45 second noise to warn you. c) Multiple small capacitance capacitors linked to provide the lowest inner E. S. R. e) Hi-end platinum plated 100% solid brass parts with chrome plated metal cover. Charging CHARGING THE CAPACITOR AND WIRING: The capacitor must be charged before connecting the power and ground cables to the capacitor. Failure to charge the capacitor will result in a large spark generated from the rapid inflow of current which can cause damage to the unit or serious injury. To Charge the capacitor: 1. Make the positive terminal connections between the capacitor and amplifier and tighten the bolt. Caution: Stripped terminals are not covered under the capacitor's warranty. Connect the ground of the capacitor to the battery and amplifier, refer to the attached drawing. Place the supplied charging bulb or resistor between the positive terminal of the capacitor and the battery's positive terminal. Immediately after the charging process, take out the charging bulb from the connecting wire and connect the positive cable of the battery directly to the positive terminal on the capacitor as quickly as possible. Discharging When you want to remove or disconnect the capacitor from the system you must discharge the capacitor. To Discharge the capacitor: With the battery power disconnected, place the light bulb or resistor across the capacitor's positive and negative terminals until the light goes out or for three minutes if using a resistor. DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR: Installation and Wiring Please make sure that you have correctly and successfully charged your capacitor. Above is a diagram showing how the layout should be for multiple amplifiers. The Remote-Turn-On block is also used as a distribution block to connect all your amplifiers and / or other processors to a central location. When using multiple amplifiers and / or processors, it is suggested to use a relay on the remote-turn-on lead as the signal strength is not very strong and will not always turn on multiple units Troubleshooting Should you encounter a problem with your capacitor, you can follow the steps below to make sure that it is working properly. [. . . ] If you need to replace the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the system. Using a fuse of different type or rating may result in damage to this system which is not covered by the warranty. Disclaimer Specifications are subject to change with out notice.
