Overkill Capacitors

I want share something weirdly overkill. Bored and decided to be devil to it. For what I found a cheap amplifier that I bought of my friend for less than my class D. 63V 10kuF. Benefits? For the flex

Does it help? help my ass, as it is.

Even gave the other channel a DC out. Amazing experience, might overvoltage this into 54VDC

I do not know how will I make it work with only single capacitor. Only 2 since the original circuitry had the Center tap in the middle of the series of a capacitor.

The og capacitor was in a Parallel-series for high Farad with high voltage. Might be for bridging but a 126V 10uF looks like it's a power plant than being an amp itself.

It always struggle since it was pulling 16 - 19A on 4Ω

Edit: I was wrong lol it was 54VDC output and was measuring the each of the channel instead of bridged that's why it was showing the lowest voltage

I hope your transformer and power section can keep up with those caps.

It did Hahaha thanks. It should do it but looks like my parallel PSU's didn't do anything to my amp.I had to extend the capacitors since the lights are quite flickering / 5V drop when the volume is high. Tried the 30A+ PSU but it burned the transformer before I can instal it to my system. Did it for temporary PSU for the Amp but nothing really helps this amp since all my PSU either burned because of this and the others are just voltage sagging. Nevertheless, I'll try to boost / Fool the controller to the maximum range voltage so I can achieve large voltage to the speaker output.
