funny thing about caps, they all have the lowest ESR (2 points if you know that ESR stands for Equivalent series resistance) because there is only 1 factory in the world set up to make a 1f car audio capacitor...

oh, and you can get them cheaper at XS cargo and princess auto.

another tidbit of information: the "Monster cap" digital tops are made by rockford... there's a little white sticker on the pcb, and if you peel it off it says "Rockford corp." or something.

 

Yea, both my caps are no name brand, but different cases and the displays and pcb's are exactly the same.

 

well thanks Tim! n tha guys for the prices + advice helpped alot. okay so low ESR is good. easy enough...

Some guy is selling me Phoenix Gold TIMX-10K cap 1.0F each $100 cash brand new. is the good deal based on the model version?

which has lower ESR monster cap or the stinger??

btw, spoke to a dealer who installs brwnbread,dynomat n bquiet. and he says the bquiet ulitmate will peel after a few yrs. he said go with the brownbread instead......Any one have experiences with either these two mats??


Prasad....
almost closee to making a decision on a cap + deadening mat

 

Has that always been true? Brax used to claim to make their own, of course it could have been made for them to their specs.

I've never verified it, but I've also read that those digital tops add so much ESR they effectively make the cap useless.

 

Everyone claims that they make their own caps, amps, speakers etc, but we all know how true that is *cough* china *cough*

 

Isnt everything audio related made overseas..lol. anyhow.
If i knew how to setup a voting poll on this site I would soo do it for the sound deadening mats...just to see how many votes each mat gets..

so far....

pls help..

 

2 cars ago i had a pg 1.0f cap. It worked. Never seen the newer ones in canada.
Didn't you read that it doesn't matter who/where you buy, it's the same manuacturer. Spend more money for the monster if it makes you feel better.

I'll vote for dynamat extreme, just because thats what i got and it works.

 

Brownbread is good cheap deadening.

If you're spending more money I like hushmat.

Really there are a lot of good products out there and I think it comes down to cost in most cases.

 

so far....
