Well what size alternator do you run now? I would also ditch the cap, seeing that is does more harm than good.

Get the amp, run 4 gauge and get rid of the cap. Your alternator will be just fine. Look into the BIG 3

I ran my Mrd m1005 and Mrv f345 on two cars with stock charging systems with no problem. Minimal dim with 90 amp alts.

Okay, it looks like the stock alternator on my Yaris is about 80A, I guess it will be all right. Can you guys explain me why I should get rid of my capacitor?

The guys at my local store told me that it helps my sub when I'm listening to some boom-boom high peaks.

Thats what the idea is, but in reality, if you use 4 gauge wire with that 1000 watt amp, all you will need to do is the "BIG 3" upgrade and your car will handle the power better. you can buy that amp and use it on your type R right now, but just keep the gain down so that it wont blow, then you can buy the Type X later.

All right, I should have it Wednesday afternoon. You haven't really answered my question about my 1 farad capacitor that I actually have. I keep it, I bought a new one or I just get rid of it?

I just want to know if it's really doing bad and why. And if it gives no advantages at all, I will also sell it. When should we need a capacitor then?
