[QUOTE="Foote, post: 3380603, member: 561415"] A battery doesnt create power either, it only stores it as well. Also, capacitors discharge waaay faster than any battery. Way. Also, I think your explanation for what a cap does is way off. A capacitor is shooting out quick charges when the bass is hitting to your amp, so that your battery doesnt have to. When your bass isnt hitting, instead of your alt not powering anything much, it is charging the cap for the next bass hit. i dont see how such an application isnt useful. To me it seems very useful. When you arent draining power, the power is being put to good use by saving up in the capacitor for the next drain. [/QUOTE]
