    ALbert: Caps don't stabilize current, it merely stores current in an event of sudden voltage consumption (usually when an amp plays a deep bass note).

    Think of it as a water tank.

    di po ba same lang 'yon? Kung fluctuating yung voltage mo, meaning po may drops and peaks sa voltage level, the caps will level that off for you by supplying the needed juice back into (or getting from) the electrical? Parang yung sa mga voltage rectifiers sa electronics? Clarify lang po, medyo akala ko po kasi ganun yun?

    pero tama po kayo, it won't stabilize the current ... just the voltage lang po.

    no its not.

    under regular load even if you have an audio system you do not need a cap. You only need a cap for transient loads. the cap is hooked between a battery and amp, it doesn't affect any other electrical equipment other than what is hooked up to the cap.



    grounding kits simply allows less resistance for the current to flow due to thicker gauges.

    hmmm di ba po merong mga "voltage regulators" na you can buy daw that will stabilize the voltage daw po, is that different?

    Your alternator should do that. Unless it's shot, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

    Jeep: Amp wires can be anywhere between 0 gauge to 12 gauge, also, be wary of wires na gawa dito or china, the insulation may be very thick, but the actual copper wire is very thin.

    Power Cable/Wires available in Raon are gauge 8. Deeco is selling gauge 12 speaker wires,these babies are thick * 70/meter medyo pricey.

    huhuhu nagulo na hehehe :D

    ano po maganda gauge para dito?

    basta sabihin mo lang yung gauge sa mga electrical shops?

    tnx

    8 gauge will do, 4 gauge will be better. Hirap lang maghanap ng magandang 4 gauge wires dito, available yan sa mga automotive shops or electrical shops, preferably buy the 4 gauge power cables for audio.

    hehe :D

    eto po kasi na search ko sa net para sa gasoline:

    1) Negative batt terminal to chassis, 2) Negative batt terminal to distributor, 3) Distributor to intake manifold, 4) Intake Manifold to alternator, and, 5) Alternator to chassis.

    wala po kasi ako distributor lol

    di ko alam kung pwede sa intake manifold ko sobrang lakas ng vibration ng mga diesel

    yung sa alternator po ba kahit saan basta may bolt ng alternator?

    ang ganda po ng nakita kong grounding kit sa Liberty Duty Free inside clark stainless circle with 5 grounding points.



    1.2k ang price...mahal ba?

    pasensiya na po pero para saan
    po ang grounding kits?
    ano po ang noticeable effects
    ng meron nito?
    magkano po ito?
    meron po bang sasakyan
    na binabagayan nito?

    thanks in advance?

    its noticeable sa electrical flow ng auto mo. masmaganda smooth kung baga but most of all pampaganda ng engine compartment. RED WIRES are grounding kit
