Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: The overall response of your car audio system will be enhanced with the use of capacitors due to their ability to store a large amount of current and discharge it quickly to supplement your amplifier's power supply during high current demand (bass note). The Tsunami digital hybrid capacitor is a logical addition to your system due to the fact that automotive batteries aren't designed to deliver the current to satisfy the requirements of high powered audio components. It can also filter AC voltage induced in the system by the amplifier's power supply which could cause objectionable noise.

Note: One Farad of capacitance is recommended for each 500 watts of amplifier power, but you can never have too much capacitance for any system.

Digital Hybrid Capacitor: The Tsunami HCAP-40 is a 40 Farad high-performance digital hybrid capacitor with digital volt and amp meters. It provides two 1/0 or 4-gauge inputs and six 1/0 or 4-gauge outputs for installing a multi-amplifier system (up to three amps), totaling up to 20,000 watts RMS.

Styled Casing: The Tsunami HCAP-40 digital hybrid capacitor features an extruded aluminum case with chrome plastic accents. It also features a hinged cover to hide the capacitor's terminal connections.

Digital Volt and Amp Meters: The Tsunami HCAP-40 features a blue digital LCD volt and amp meter. Hi/Lo voltage is indicated by flashing red LED's.

Note: The Tsunami HCAP-40 has an operating working voltage of 20-volts (24-volt surge).

High-Current Terminal Blocks: The Tsunami digital hybrid capacitor features 1/0-gauge nickel-plated high-current terminal blocks with 4-gauge reducers. The HCAP-40 features one positive input, one negative input, 3 positive outputs, and 3 negative outputs.
