I'd run the Icons probably then, they're good shocks. Spring rate is important, nothing wrong with the fixes though and changing springs is easy while being rebuilt.

 

Apparently Mexican Food week on the Great British Baking show has been a disaster for the show's ratings, who would've thought lol

 

I can't imagine ever giving a fuck either way

I'm looking for a DC softstart that can handle a 20A load, there's no manufacturer (in my industry) that makes one but my old boss was telling me that car stereo guys use some kind of capacitor bank to control voltage spikes for their stereo equipment. Do you guys know what he was talking about? Or a brand I can look up and get ahold of to talk to?

 

I don't think car audio capacitors do anything or would be rated for a duty cycle that a piece of equipment could muster.

 

4x 5 farad car audio capacitors should provide 20a/s or something like that

Lame

I found an Indian engineer that has videos describing how to make one with individual components but I was hoping to avoid getting unique boards made. Guess I'll have to look into going that route. I wonder how reliable those online companies that make circuit boards are

 

PCBWay is a great resource

 

That was impressively quick

 

People still use farad in car audio?
From my research on them way back when, I kind of remember coming to the conclusion they weren't necessary in most use cases

 

Fuck yea, thank you

 

I'm not looking for necessary, I'm looking for excessive

 

Depends on how fat your system is

I could dim the lights in the Tacoma with a 10" kicker + 600w amp and that's not a very big system

 

That and how big your stock alt is.
Newer vehicles can hang better

 

The little engine I deal with at work don't have alternators. Still old skool stator behind the flywheel. Biggest common size is 20A to 25A and our cooling fan pulls 18.6 FLA

Trying to cobble shit together to see if it's cheaper to go that route vs paying a bunch extra for their 50A stator engine.. the engine blocks are completely different so I'm trying to figure something out for what we've already got

 

That's a fair point, i didn't consider that

The Ford has a 200 amp alt lol

 

lol wtf you trynna put a stereo on. A golf cart?

 

I build concrete cutting equipment and hydraulic powerpacks. We use a big 12v fan for the hydraulic coolers. Not actually trying to install a stereo, just treating the idea of a stereo (since I know they take a bunch of juice) as equal to the cooling fan

 

Ah gotcha. hydraulic powerpacks and golf carts. Same same but different
