- I was at a electronic store once, and he had a used 20V 600,000
- cap that he gave me for $5. I hooked it up and let it charge,
- then started my system up, and unhooked the battery leaving only
- the cap to supply my amps and headunit/changer. It actually played
- loud for a few seconds.
- ----------
-
- My home amp will drive my a/d/s M15 monitors for 13 seconds after it is
- switched off (at moderate listening levels).
-
- Makes me wonder about putting capacitors everywhere. I'd make sure I
- didn't charge them through your ignition switch as the current would
- destroy it much sooner than you'd like. I'd probably only hook them
- direct to the battery? Anyone else thought about this? I was thinking
- about putting caps inside the amp and figured it would eat fuses.
