About the Tsunami COMPETITION Series Capacitor

Matt Freeman
You've got a heavy-duty car audio system with multiple amps, but the headlights dim every time the bass hits. Tsunami's amp-style hybrid capacitors ensure that your system gets a steady supply of power for maximum performance, and act as a stabilizer between the amps and your car's electrical system.

You've got a heavy-duty car audio system with multiple amps, but the headlights dim every time the bass hits. Tsunami's amp-style hybrid capacitors ensure that your system gets a steady supply of power for maximum performance, and act as a stabilizer between the amps and your car's electrical system.

Tsunami's COMPETITION Series hybrid capacitor stores a veritable torrent of power, and delivers it to your amps whenever they need it. The satin-chrome housing and chrome covers will look spectacular in your ride, and the pair of blue LCD readouts show you exactly how much voltage is coursing through your system. One 1/0-gauge and three 4/8-gauge terminals handle your wiring needs.

Overview

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

Features

Display: There are two digital displays, one showing your precise voltage in 0.1 volt steps, the other showing system current in 1 amp steps.

Flashing LEDs: There are five blue LEDs that pulse with the charge/discharge cycles.

Audible Voltage Warning: If the voltage drops below 10 volts, rises above 17.5 volts, or the polarity is reversed the capacitor emits an audible alarm.

Construction: The X15HCAP-20 is built using hi-end platinum plated 100% brass solid parts, multiple smaller capacitors are linked together to provide the lowest ESR and the largest momentary discharge current.

Installation

Installation: The X15HCAP-20 is styled much like an amplifier and all the wiring is connected on one end to set screw terminals. The positive and negative input terminals are sized for 1/0 gauge wire. The positive and negative (three each) output terminals are sized for 4 gauge wire but are shipped with inserts sized for 8 gauge wire. The positive input terminal is connected to the battery (and fused at the battery), the positive output terminals are connected to the positive inputs on your amps. The negative input is grounded to the car's chassis and the negative outputs can be used to ground your amps. There are four remote terminals, one connected to the radio, the others can trigger you amps. With the remote wire connection to your radio, the capacitor display and LEDs turn off when you turn the system off. Before the battery is connected you must charge the capacitor with the included light bulb.

Specifications

Specifications:

  • Capacitance: 20 Farad
  • Maximum Operating DC Voltage: 16 volt/18 volt surge
  • ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): < 0.0015 ohm @120 Hz/25? C
