[QUOTE="nu2spl, post: 7218080, member: 591529"] well im going to tell you that you would need a 20 farad or larger capacitor to be effective,because whats happening is that you are draining that cap in like 2 seconds man and your battery and your alternator are not only trying to keep up with your amps they are also trying to charge that cap and basically you are your doing is whats called "chasing" your power.and that is going to prematurely ruin your alternator,ive been in the industry long enough to tell you that with 2 amps you should get another battery and put it in the back.just put it in place of that cap,hook that battery up to the front one and then hook your amps up to the one in the back.what that will do is allow the amps to pull the power from the back battery and it will let the front battery keep it charged,and probably the most important thing is that it will keep the stress off of your alternator. BTW,what amps are you running? [/QUOTE]
