[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 6446901, member: 575973"] if you play your music loud for any length of time, yes the become a problem. they can only supply current in an instant burst and not over a length of time. after the first loud bass hit, it just becomes a draw on the electrical system and will not help anything untill its is allowed to charge it self back up. all a cap will do is just pass current during long, loud sessions with out boosting or adding any extra current. just doing the big 3 will give 3x the instant current and allow more current over a longer time than any cap could ever come close to doing. adding a small battery, say like a stinger spv35 or the likes would be the better idea and that battery cost about as much as a name brand cap. the cheapest would be to loose the cap and run the big 3 now. in my system, iam running a stock 100a alt, 2 red top batteries and have the big 3 using just 4ga wire and i have near 0 light dimming and my voltage NEVER drops below 13.2v. this is running a fusion nvam250001 at .5 ohms and a fosgate 500s4ch bridged to 2ch and running at 2 ohms. its not the biggest and loudest but it can and dose draw a shit load of current but i have no issues.
