[QUOTE="zane, post: 9458, member: 540617"] Once again. Agreed. I will say it again also- If your cars charging system can not keep up (IE -voltage drops) then a cap is only a band aid to a larger problem. Now, on a properly functioning charging system, a cap can be beneficial by supplying small ammounts of reserve power for a deep bass hit. A caps sole purpose is to aleviate strain on the alternator durring those brief musical bursts. However, if your alternator has problems keeping up- what good is a cap? take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
