The power consumption of an amplifier can widely vary;
it depends on the music and volume. The amplifier
power available is determined by voltage x current (P =
U x I). At moments of fast, heavy bass pulses, amplifiers
can draw considerable amounts of current, up to
hundreds of Ampères, since they feature an efficiency
of only 50%. Because the current (I) rises, the voltage
(U) collapses, as a result of the wire losses. Each long
power cable, even the thickest one, (leading from the
front of the car to the back) generates a magnetic field,
which creates induction, and this means losses. To
maintain a maximum performance of the amplifier , you
can ’t increase the voltage (a car only has 13,6/12 Volts),
but you can increase the fast current delivery. Only
electrolytic capacitors with a very low internal
resistance, like the Signat models S104001, S104105
and S104201, can release their stored current
extremely fast. In this way voltage variations, which
could damage the amplifier , are avoided. And the
amplifier can feed the loudspeakers with maximum
power and control.
