Capacitors,capacitors......

Can a cap save the alternator ?,another question...my car's alternator puts out 80 amps,now my system is kinda big (4 amplifiers,etc) and how do i find out what my reserve amperage is,i doubt it i have any left...my amps are like this:

#1-360 Watts mono for my sub

#2-2x100 Watts for one of my mids set

#3-2x50 Watts for another set of mids

#4-2x50 Watts for a set of tweeters

I do have 2 caps right now,one 1 Farad and another 1/2 Farad,is it enough ? and is my alternator gonna meet it's maker ?,hopefully not

I checked and the alternator on my BMW is rated at 80 Amps,i found somewhere a formula that (crutchfield,"the installation doctor") helped me figure out the exact figure of 32 Amps i have in rezerve....but i need 35 Amps (140A : 4=35 A), does that mean that "maybe,just maybe" i can get by providing i don't play my stereo to 3/4 volume ?,i don't even know if there is a way to get a higher amperage alternator for my BMW,i think even 100 A would do,can my old alternator be rewired to put out more ?

Thank you and i apreciate it

I hate to tell you this but putting more caps on your system will kill your alternator faster. Get a secondary alternator, or a second battery, or get a bigger alternator.

Now think about this for a sec. The alternator is your power source. by having more caps just like having storage of power for you, but how much storage do you get? Now once the caps discharged, your alternator not only has to work hard to keep up with your system, it has to recharge the caps. Caps are good for voltage regulators though.

With all the caps you're spending on. Best just to get a bigger alternator or get a secondary...
