Power caps

The power consumption of an amplifier can widely vary; it depends on the music and volume. The amplifier power available is determined by voltage x current (P = U x I). At moments of fast, heavy bass pulses, amplifiers can draw considerable amounts of current, up to hundreds of Ampères, since they feature an efficiency of only 50%. Because the current (I) rises, the voltage

(U)collapses, as a result of the wire losses. Each long power cable, even the thickest one, (leading from the front of the car to the back) generates a magnetic field, which creates induction, and this means losses. To maintain a maximum performance of the amplifier , you can ’t increase the voltage (a car only has 13,6/12 Volts), but you can increase the fast current delivery. Only electrolytic capacitors with a very low internal resistance, like the Signat models S104001, S104105 and S104201, can release their stored current extremely fast. In this way voltage variations, which could damage the amplifier , are avoided. And the amplifier can feed the loudspeakers with maximum power and control.
