[QUOTE="zane, post: 403390, member: 540617"] Really? Wow! I can cross link to another forum with people talking about caps too! [URL="http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=32502"]http://forum.soundillusions.net/showthread.php?t=32502[/URL] Some people there have the same opinion as I too! Amazing ain't it! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif[/IMG] 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. 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 [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/installationprimer.htm"]http://www.bcae1.com/installationprimer.htm[/URL] Point # 8 in aforementioned link rather puts the above to rest. [I][COLOR=blue]" 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 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 can revert to my previous statement since you must have accidentally missed it. We'll also add another reference for giddiness!

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 We are in complete agreeance on this issue. Option2 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!
