A Red top battery is a starter battery. a Yellow top is a deep cycle battery that can be run down and then charged back up many times without the internals screwing up. | |

Ive heard Pyle on demo quite a few times in stores and heard an install in an Escort. The sound quality is full on rubbish, the THD is quite high, the power ratings are nowhere near what is stated. | |

i dont see a problem with pyle myself have heard a full pyle demo system running and it sounds quite good, bought the lot as a package so got a good discount only paid about £120 for first three amps, last 1 was a lot more though. | |

quote: im not 100% up to scratch tbh, but i believe the yellow top has a better power cycle :boggle: and can push more juice for longer periods. As for the power cap, leave it out mate until you can run the system properly without - like i said, it will causes a lot of stress on the electrical system. As for split charging, because if you ran a cable the length of the car, the voltage would drop, ie: it might be 14 up front, but i might drop 1-2volts by the time it gets to the back, so you loose XX amount of watts the amp can produce. So use a split charge system, place the battery in the boot and keep all the power cables nice and shorts to help gain the magical voltage of 14.4 :thumbs: As for upgrading the battery and alternator - no it doesnt stop it overheating, it will stop your battery running down too quickly, as well as easing the stress on your electrical system (like dimming lights etc). However, you have a read top up front, so your fine on that - but you really do need to look at how much power your whole system is likely to take and then work out what alternator you need etc and for the split charge fuse, do a search on splitting charging in this ice section and there is a post about with info about it all - as im not too hot on split charging systems. richie - i take it pyle gear isnt exact the muts nuts then? ive come across it, but never really looked at it etc :thumbs: | |

already have a red top battery and the power cap. Is yellow better than red and why? Also why is it better to split charge the system than just upgrading standard battery if im drawing that much power it will have to run with the engine on? I know in theory its better but not sure on the reason. | |

Shit me :! although i doubt it will reach anywhere near 3k at 1.3 ohms mate, more like 2-2.5k but still a lot of power :lol: | |

i currently have 3 2000 watt amps and 1 36090 watt amp (big power) so ive bought a 50 farad hybrid capacitor and a red top battery. I know how to split charge i just dont want to overload anything. i was planning on running 4 gauge to the battery in the boot using a 180A relay and using 0 gauge from battery to power cap but ive been advised doing it this way will cause massive overhaeting in the 4 gauge to the boot and loud buzzing from relay so have been told to replace standard battery with red top one run 0 gauge to the boot straight to the power cap |
