[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4665982, member: 594758"] If your running a cheap over rated amp with stock electrical wiring under the hood, then a cap will not help you. -First you need a decent amp. -That amp needs a heavey power cable from the battery. -That battery needs to be able to deliver the needed current (one or more good audio type deep cycle batteries). -The wiring under the hood needs to be upgraded to supply this extra current, 4 or 0 gauge Big3 rewire (read the sticky at the top of the Electrical issues forum). -You need an alternator that can supply all this power and charge this system without voltage dips. IF you have done all these things, then a capacitor can help to smooth out some small voltage dips, but really shouldn't be needed if you did everything else correctly. If you have not done all of the above, then caps are pointless. [/QUOTE]
