[QUOTE="Fr0sty51, post: 401383, member: 551610"] True, an alternator upgrade is the much better fix, but for those who want a quick fix then they go with a cap. I've just seen people with 2 15" L7's and a 1 FARAD cap and im like, wtf, of course its not gonna do shit, its gonna drain quick as hell. 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." ........quote, unquote This proves that they obviously show some sort of significance in your system if they are able to win awards and such and such. If they don't do anything....why would they be winning awards? IM NOT SAYING that capacitors are the best way to go, because a high performance battery and alternator are the ways to go. All im saying that a capacitor is used for a quick fix, but you need a cap that fits your system, if its to small of course it wont do a **** thing. [/QUOTE]
