[QUOTE="Steven, post: 90453, member: 544311"] yeah. A cap is just a band-aid for an ailing charging system. My system is running over 1500watts and I have never used a cap. By reading different car audio sources, people in general say a cap for every 500 watts is needed. They are wrong. If your carging system is up to snuff you don't even need 1 cap. What a cap does is when the voltage in the system drops below the voltage of the cap, the cap supplies the extra power to keep the system voltage up. Now if the systems Alternator were powerful enough, why would the voltage drop? [/QUOTE]
