    Need clarification with capacitor wiring

    Let me start with some back story. The photo attached is of my 2x 10" kicker subwoofers, 600 watt kicker amp, and a 2.5F capacitor. This went in my 2013 mini cooper and worked amazingly well for the year i had it in there. I have since sold the coop as multiple, EXPENSIVE, problems arose but i...

    Adding capacitor to the power of the reciever

    I was planning of doing something like this video so that my stereo does not power off and loose bluetooth connection when the starter kicks. This will only power the reciever, and will not run any amplifiers. But I do not know if it is 100% safe or if pre made kits are available for this...

    I've got a Polk dxi 124 connected to an RE 2000.1 amp in my 1991 Honda Civic. When I play music at louder volumes, the light on the remote dims a lot and the sub seems to lose its power. I haven't really noticed any headlight dim when driving. I was wondering if this is an issue that could be...

    Should I even bother with a capacitor?

    I know they are basically useless, but I have one a friend gave me a couple years ago. Should I bother wiring it in to my system because I have it, or just leave it in the garage?

    ?? on rebuilding amplifiers = more power

    What type of Capacitors should be used as bass blockers?

    I have a 2010 Nissan Altima with the Bose system. With that factory Bose system, most of the bass was from the 6x9s mounted in the rear deck. It sounded OK for a lot of music, but the rear 6x9s really fall apart when playing low frequencies at even moderate volume. So I disconnected the rear...

    how to figure out the Farad rating on a capacitor?

    This isn't as easy as the title sounds. I got a free Capacitor from a friend. The Capacitor literally says nothing on it. No label of any sort, or any impressions in the aluminum housing (aside from scratches and dings from age) to give me any indication of the Farad rating. Is there any sort of...

I also let them put a break in the power chain with a 2 Farad Cap from Tsunami in there. The cap seems to have crapped out. I didn't monitor...
