I have an 11 volts battery for my motorcycle, and i have four pieces of neon lights, together with a 700 watt amplifier, 2 6x5 speakers, and 2 tweeters. When i turn them all on my music suddenly turns off and on or it sounds cracky. My friend said to put a capacitor to increase the flow of electricity to support everything. But im scared that things might blow up. Are there any other suggestions other than reducing my electricity use?

Guys, my bike doesn't have an alternator. My bike is 110cc Honda XRM.. I think they only sell these kinds of underbones in Asia.

A capacitor only stores electricity and releases it when it needs it. (In lamens terms)
Put a 1 or 2 farad capacitor in line from the battery to your amp and this should help your problem. If you still have a problem after installing the capacitor then you'll need to upgrade to a stronger alternator on your bike.
Hope this helps

Considering the fact that there are no 11 volt motorcycle batteries, Honda or what ever, and that to get anything close to 700 watts would take a battery and generator/alternator system capable of delivering in excess of 65 amps, your whole story sounds like a joke. Most small bike batteries are only around 60 amp/hour rated anyhow, so soon as you turned it on, it would be well on the way to running down. You might consider pulling a small trailer with a pair of 12 volt high current marine batteries hooked in shunt with each other.

1st of all a fully charged wet cell 12 volt battery when it is fully charged should read 12.7 volts on a good volt meter. If it is reading 11 volts with nothing turned on this is a major contributor to your problem. If it reads 12.4 volts or higher with nothing on it has 50% or greater charge. What kind of motorcycle? With the engine running what does the battery read? If it is not at least 13.2 volts with the engine running you will never keep up with your accessories, capacitor or not.

theres no such a thing as an 11v battery they come as 12 or 6 volts. if your bike is a modern bike how could it not have an alternator. the only bikes that dont have alternators are direct current systems like some of the james autocycles(british bikes) i dont know, your question makes you out to be a lunatic, no offence now. i suppose seeing as you want your own sound system on a tiny bike, why not get the biggest 12 volt bike or lawnmower(yes lawnmower ride on ones, theyre cheaper aswell.)battery and strap,tie.weld it on the bike or get a car.

P=IE or pwr equals ampsXvolts. can u figure that one out? where are u getting 700 watts? with only 11 volts? u are starving your amp. sorta like having an inflatable doll with no air in it.
