it helps you not look like a loser when your sub is thumping and your headlights dim while driving so that everyone else knows you did a lame install.

Unless he's talking about any other uses of capacitors except for power-stiffening purposes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What is the "BIG 3" ?? I know 2 of them.....HO alt., Upgraded batt. and what would be the 3rd.???

I've been into car audio for over 15 years and have never really had to upgrade my stock electical system. Must be because I've always been about SQ more than anything else. Oh well, any input would be appreciated.

thanx,

Adam
