Does installing a voltage stabiliser improve ICE system?

[Jamesgetz]

as above. does installing a volt stabiliser (for eg. Pivot, RMK, HKS, etc) improve the sound quality? anyone care to share?

 

understand that volt stabilisers have been in the market for ages but surprisingly can't find a thread in the ICE section about such stuff...

Wooo...

 

Its a yes & no answer.

A ref for u which includes Cap..

As redundant as caps in a system.

[Jamesgetz]

thought ICE capacitors (those big 1 farad cylinder kind) are useful for SPL systems which are high-power and draw lots of current?

[Anders213]

Think of it this way.

It is a load to your system.

Better alternative is to get a bigger battery or a high output alternator.

bro,get a capacitor or good battery like (optima yellowtop) ,but not

volt stabiliser, volt stabiliser not suitable for car audio

[Baxterbay]

There is a Pivot stabiliser for audio sound improvement. It is purple or pink in colour. Capacitor in use to support the drawing of current when your sub thumb. If you can afford it can improve the system dynamic.

[Ivan0507]

yup,i knew .u can get it everywhere in the car audio shop.i don't think will help much

[Ahdi]

ppl claims about this too..they say it helps..but i got it installed....not much effect i think

get yourself a capacitor.if yr system is 1000w and below get a 1.0 farad cap or 2.0 farad for 1000w and above will be fine and so on.

my hifi is v ok now lo..got 2 batt in my car....

these over-sized cap are normally mounted near the power amps which draw high current for low freq or bassy sound, so they are far away from the battery terminals to be effective for the ECU. Tats why now upmarket volt-stab for good clean dc supply to ECU. Noise in the engine bay are normally higher frequencies. Juz my S$0.02. Edited October 9, 2005 by Normal_aspirated

[Mivec9]

thinking of installing voltage stabilizer and grounding wires....will it do any good? or bad?

[Normal_aspirated]

Does work for my ride anyway......better throttle response.
