I was thinking the same thing he said regular caps are full of tar or junk so whats different about down4sounds capacitor

That material inside may be called "resin." It will not conduct electricity and adds dead weight while keeping the actual capacitor from rattling around.

Great info describing the difference in Farads and power . Thanks JP. And D4S

A true Eye opener, for me 💯 Thank you !

Thank you for posting this! Very helpful. So many people been cheated for over 20 years!

I've been loving my xs SB-630. Matches perfect with my normal voltage and does a great job of stabilizing surges. Run in parallel with 2 agm & 128 ah of lithium it puts in work and worth the cheddah

Just placed a order for my truck can't wait to get it.

I think jp should give some of his success back to the customers that made it happen ..cost is a real thing lets just say hes making a killing ..jp offer those cap banks at cost once a day for 10min ..true followers will have a chance to get a actual good deal..

I busted out in laughter when I saw the little dinky rod. I knew there was empty space in there but not 3/4 the whole thing🤣

I can tell you anything you want to know about little dinky rods.

People also need to learn what capacitors are best used for in a audio system as well... To many audio people still think they are battery's.

I’m glad my JP23 is in my semi truck hooked to my 4 semi truck batteries.

Completely agree with you other than the price. Sonic Electronix has a Belvia 2 farad cap for 39.99. Not sure where you are getting prices, but 75 may be exaggerated to sell more products

Great share sir!

Appreciate the info

Very smart man thank you 🙏

Thank you for doing this. 😎👍👍

Better off getting a small power cell than a cap IMO. I was able to run a 2500watt rms system in a stock Honda civic with only a big3 upgrade and a small power cell by the amplifier. It had the stock alternator still and didn’t have no dimming, no issues of any kind.

I've been trying to tell people this for years. It's like talking to a brick wall most of the time though. A quick Google search will show you what gives a capacitor it's "capacitance". In simple terms, the size of the actual capacitor matters and they are out there selling big pop cans full of rubber and a voltmeter glued on top lmao.

Good job

I'm glad you did this. I knew that compositor was not worth it. But now I'm encouraged to spend some cash on the real deal.

I'm not too knowledgeable in car audio; I took some basic electrical classes in avionics. In my experience I think it depends on your application; my amp is rated @ 1000w. I installed a 2F cap and its eliminated the slight headlight dimming issue when kick drums hit. So far its been working just fine, but I'm willing to let the $40 go to waste to learn not to use these caps if I fell for the scam and do it right the second time.

Well done.. facts right there I have never ran thoses cheap caps.. I just added extra batteries lol.. now it's caps alternators and good batteries

Thanks brother

So satisfying

So far a cap bank is somewhat in the near future . But it's definitely a must do and a mechman alternator . I paid $180. To have it put out more power got it back went to check it and all they did was change the brushes which I could've done myself . I still have these old style "stiffening" caps 2 of them and they suck even though they were the ones that when cut open actually had stuff wrapped inside which I believe were the Rockford and monster cable .

And people don't understand the math that it takes 1 farad to equal 1 volt and 1000 farads is equal to 2.7 volts. So if you have lets say have 1500 watts total system for example you're actually not getting no activity after that first discharge. Added to that the recharge time is slow due to that cheap dielectric core. Can't believe people still buy that crap.. Good job JP!!

Talk about a wolf in sheeps clothing. Back in the 90s I made Capacitor bank of 6 @ .5 farad electrical caps for my 500w bass and 400w highs system.these caps were almost as big as the case on one of those fake ones. Aluminum and magnesium plats all the way through. I have never seen one of those canisters cut open like that. thanks for educating us JP.

So I just canceled my order on Amazon.. Thank you for the video because I was also under the impression that you actually got at least 3/4 of the size of that cylinder was the capacitor and omg those aluminum strips wtf

I would like to see what is inside of the super capacitor compared with the cheap capacitor.

It fixed my problem of headlights dimming at 60mph.

Lol!!! but JP at least then you'll have 5 volt meters instead of 1 which i think is more less a count down of a smokeshow happening downstream Youve convinced me years ago!!!That being said looking forward to the 8 inch D4s mids coming out keep it up! All good stuff from what ive seen!

now pull a random cap from a bank of yours and cut it open....apples to apples. keeping in mind that one of yours is supposed to be 83.3Xs the cap you just cut open.

Yeah so glad you cut the cap open to show the truth about them I learned the hard way with one and wasted my time..

Thanks cuz I shole was gonna get the kit

Good video

The rubber is just for more weight. Thanks for exposing those clowns.

Though I do agree with most of what you are saying you are missing some issues. Not everyone upgrades their audio system to thump bass down the road, but are looking to go above their alternator's rated tolerance. In newer cars if your headlights are dimming you are effecting other electronic components as well. Something is better than nothing. I would never suggest a 1 farad, but telling someone to spend that much money on an electrical system upgrade or super/ultra cap for small stereo applications is overkill as well. Though it does seem like you cannot find any middle ground products these days. Just my thoughts.

I never bought in to the scam caps. I always added batteries. By the way, thanks for the D4S JP234. It’s a very powerful and small 4 channel. Keep making amazing products bro! Your shop there in Henderson is awesome too. In my new build in my Powerstroke, I just got a 370A alternator and 2 yellow top optima batteries for the truck with 3/0 cable under the hood. Looks like I’ll be adding these caps to keep my HCCA 3000 happily feeding my Phoenix gold titanium elite 12D’s. Just installed my alpine Ine-w960hdmi to feed 4v to my audio control DM-810. USAcoustic lanna 6x150@4 ohm class AB feeds the active 3 ways in the front. Im hoping your caps will fit laying on their side under the rear seat?

Thank you for this information. Several audio shops tells me I need a capacitor. I actually ordered two on Amazon one was a return so they replaced the other one now. Both are going back to Amazon. Someone told me we needed zero gauge wire instead of the capacitor have you heard anything about that? I think it’s called 3.0.

bet the bottom has a small square of concrete too. They do help filter AC ripple, and it absorbs that initial shock on the electrical. They were made for stiffening not to store power. I'll give them that, Rest was all he say and they ran with it. $75 is crazy

Can you tell me what exactly I could use the 500 Farad for? Like wattage wise with one spare 12 volt batt.

The purpose of the video is not to show anything, its an ad. That fake cap is not 1 farad. And 1 farad does help.

You make a good point with the single-fared capacitor not worth the money I would say you could get a better deal for the same $314 instead of buying the super caps I would invest in a lto lithium Bank for $300 you can get six cells of the 35 amp hour ying long that will have way more power and last a lot longer it won't pull the voltage down so quickly

I have a stinger 10 farad hybrid cap. My car would actually almost stop running from a hard bass hit before the cap. Now it barely drops half a volt.

Idk i got audio pipes 6 farad cap, went from a 1 farad cap, and it made a huge difference in sound

I bought one when I was 13yr and it had bunch of weights and a tiny cap just to power the led lmao 🤣. Takes power to make power go D4S

Its 3m black tar compound in tube from parts stores

And is the Rockford fosgate RFC10HB good or ?

I put in a 100ah lithuim battery in my hood and it showing me on my meter 15 to near 16volts which was to high for my car that it even cutting out my headunit and showing my abs light and had my dash lights blinking for about 25seconds on cold starts ...so i add a capacitor to the battery it help a bit, it only does this on morning cold start.how can i slove this prob because it got me scared when i start my car on mornings

Is scosche any good?

I love how you just self promoted like $300 😂 how bout giving people a better option for a budget, if i have to spend $300 ill just deal with my lights blinking

I had a question hooking up my system when I was a noob and the man literally talked to me on the phone on the issue I had.

For that money honestly i might as well get an high output alternator other than run my stock and big 3?

A 1 Farad also charges tremendously fast! You do the maths. (I work in radar)

I have a 2000 watts system, 1500 for my 1-12" and 500 for my mids and hi and have a XS 24 hour and battery is that enough or do I need a capsitor bank also.I need help and what do you recommend cause my 5 farett cap ain't cutting it. Thanks for your videos and advice
