[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 4287232, member: 587873"] What's with people and this way of thinking that caps are something great and a cure for every electrical problem? Caps offer very little help to any system with bass. If you have your big 3 done and a good deep cycle battery like an Optima, Odyssey, Kinetik then a cap will be completely useless. The only people I see using caps are SQ guys and they use them on their front stage amps to help regulate the voltage, not on their sub amps. A deep cycle battery will offer more of a charge to your amps when they need it than any capacitor ever could. I tried using a 1 farad cap a couple years ago and tested my system with it and without it and there was a noticeable increase in power when I ripped it out. Not to mention my subs were hitting higher db's without it. [/QUOTE]
