Just ensure that you top up the flux fluid in it at least twice a year.

I change the fluid every 3months and keep it inflated to 34psi.

works for me.

34? Mine only goes to 31, what are you doing different Dukk? Are you using the improved charge convertor on it? Mine is version 2.1, I replaced it this February after the last one cacked on me. I heard talk of a new software upgrade that was downloadable to the charge unit. Is this what you have?

each farad is equivalent to 1,000 watts, so a 3 farad should have ur system runing smoothly without having to work ur battery too much as long as u have a battery that holds more charge like a yellow cap

Rule of thumb is 1 farad for every 1000W rms true power not Chinese fortune cookie power.

So 3 farad is not overkill for that setup, there is a little difference in the price for the model im looking for (like 10$ for a 2 compare to a 3) so im better with 3 for future upgrade etc..

I guess... do im wrong?
