And notice how all of my claims seem to have alot in common with these two guys and also notice their words seem to be a lot of what industries claim, and watch how much I've been right, especially on the bass response thing!!!! And dont post any replies until you have read every single thread by me and zane and notice both are claims. Cause i dont feel like posting to more ignorance.
I'm the ignorant one??? lol i think not
Really? Wow!
I can cross link to another forum with people talking about caps too!
http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=32502
Some people there have the same opinion as I too!
Amazing ain't it! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif
Since you obviously don't have a handle on business marketing concepts, we are going to drop the "industry" issue. If you haven't put the two together yet, there is nothing anyone here can do to hold your hand the rest of the way.
May want to have a re-read of the thread. Wait- I'll break it down for you.
GET REAL, a cap will improve your bass response resulting in it to hit harder
Its funny how all MECP certified installers tell me that they do help your bass response
Im gonna quote what the best accessory brand (Stinger) says about capacitors so don't take it up with me take it up with them. This came straight from one of their guides.
"Power capacitors provide an unprecedented increase in system performance by acting as a high energy power reservoir. Stinger's power caps provide your amplifiers with clean transient power as they hit peak output when the bass pumping & the music is jamming. Why should you choose Stinger's power capacitors? Because only Stinger has the cutting edge designs that consistently with the Autosound Grand Prix Awards."
Lets see if I've got this.
1. Improve bass response
2. Hit harder
3. All the MECP Installers say they improve bass response
4. Stinger Says they will increase system performance.
Aight! :thumbsup

Point # 8 in aforementioned link rather puts the above to rest.
" This is because there has been some discussion as to whether a capacitor is a help or a hinderence when it comes to keeping the voltage at a higher level than without it. Of course, if you ask someone that's spent more than $100 on a capacitor if it helped, they'll tell you that it has. Why on earth would someone 'fess up' to wasting that much money on 'snake oil'. I've yet to see a capacitor increase the SPL in any system.

3/4 down the page, this link rather puts the above 1-4 to rest again.

All of them ehh?
I was previously ASE Certified in Advanced Automotive Electronics, and am an Auto Tech; I'm telling you they don't help your bass response.
I FIND IT HILARIOUS THAT WHEN I USE A CAPACITOR, MY VOLTAGE READS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER FROM THE CHARTS YOU SHOW ME, OH MY GOD...........THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT, THERE MUST BE SOMTHING WRONG WITH IT THEN IF IT DOES WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO. **** I MADE A MISTAKE, IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO HELP MY SYSTEM, LOOKS LIKE IM GONNA HAVE TO SELL IT.......................
I can revert to my previous statement since you must have accidentally missed it.
Hillarious is that you actually believe a capacitor has the physical ability in design to raise voltage. A capacitor is a storage device, not a source device. The capacitor depends completely on the alternator. The alternator and it's regulator solely determine vehicle voltage. A capacitor has nothing to do with it.
We'll also add another reference for giddiness! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
One Farad capacitors:
Large, one Farad, capacitors only help to maintain the charging voltage for a tiny fraction of a second under high current demand situations. They do a fine job of filling small dips in voltage and may help reduce your lights from dimming but they won't really solve your current supply problems if your alternator can't keep up.
NOTE: Capacitors DO NOT increase the charging system's voltage.

3/4 of the way down the page there too.
Bottom line, Unless you have pixie dust, ruby slippers, or some other means of enchantment, a cap is not going to make a whole lot of a difference.
Certainly not audibly, certainly not as a power "source," and most certainly not enough to continuously drag this topic into the spotlight over and over again.
By the way,
Option 1
True, an alternator upgrade is the much better fix,
We are in complete agreeance on this issue.
Option2
but for those who want a quick fix then they go with a cap.
This is where our disagreeance begins.
Quick Fix = Band Aid. Underlying issue not corrected, just masked.
Fix - Save the 100 bucks from Option 2, and revert to Option 1. Invest your newly saved 100 bucks here! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
