Wiring Wizard & Port Calculator

Use our wiring assistant for easy speaker and subwoofer connections! The correct connection is important for your amplifier! Low-impedance operation can damage the amplifier! The datasheet shows you which connection each amplifier is designed for!

Our port calculator shows you the tuning characteristics of your enclosure! The net volume is always particularly important here; calculate the subwoofer’s actual resonant chamber volume beforehand to get the correct result. The net volume is calculated by subtracting all dead spaces and is crucial for enclosure design.

Frequently asked questions about the Autotek ATX1200CAP

How does the Autotek ATX1200CAP buffer capacitor work?

The ATX1200CAP, with a capacity of 1.2 farads, stores electrical energy and releases it during peak demand. It stabilises your vehicle’s on-board voltage when the amplifier suddenly requires a lot of power – particularly when playing deep bass notes.

What amplifier power rating is the Autotek capacitor suitable for?

The rule of thumb is: 1 farad per 1,000 watts RMS. The ATX1200CAP, with its 1.2 farads, provides optimum support for amplifiers up to 1,200 watts RMS and prevents voltage drops in high-power car audio systems.

How should the buffer capacitor be connected correctly?

Fit the ATX1200CAP as close to the amplifier as possible. Connect the positive and negative terminals in parallel to the amplifier’s power supply. Before using the unit for the first time, the capacitor must be charged slowly via a charging resistor.

Can I use the ATX1200CAP with several subwoofers?

Yes, the capacitor can easily drive several subwoofers, provided the total power output remains within the recommended range. It ensures a clean sound without distortion, even when several subwoofers are operating at the same time.

How long does the Autotek buffer capacitor last?

If installed correctly and used as intended, the ATX1200CAP will last for many years. Ensure the cabling is secure and avoid overloading it. Its robust construction makes it a long-lasting component of your audio system.

What does the voltage reading on the capacitor mean?

The built-in display shows the current voltage in your vehicle’s electrical system. Ideal values range between 12.5 and 14.4 volts. If the voltage drops below 12 volts, this indicates that the alternator or battery is too weak.

Will the ATX1200CAP improve the sound quality of my system?

The capacitor eliminates voltage fluctuations that can lead to muddy bass and distortion. Your music sounds more precise and punchy, particularly during bass-heavy passages. Your amplifier’s power is utilised to the full.

Is the installation something even a beginner can manage?

Installation is possible provided you have a basic understanding of car audio wiring. Ensure you observe the correct polarity and use cables of sufficient thickness. If you are unsure, it is advisable to have the installation carried out by a specialist firm to avoid damage.
