[QUOTE="BeAlLsTaR13, post: 6393071, member: 609000"] the cap wont help you keep a steady 14.4 volts.. how many RMS total are you running through your system, and what size wire? the cap wont drain your battery, they shut off after the voltage stays the same (when the car is off) for 1-2 minutes (depending on the cap) if you REALLY want to maintain 14.4 volts at ALL times heres what you do upgrade to a 200-250amp High Output alternator, replace your existing battery with a deep cycle battery (optima yellow top, kinetik, deka, etc.) and add 2 more deep cycle batteries in parallel to eachother in the trunk (same batteries as the one under the hood) then you wont have to worry about it, oh and btw that might cost some money... i dont recommend doing it unless you absolutly are pulling the power needed to do so, 3000rms + IMO. edit: have you done the big three yet? if not try tthat, see if it helps at all. it should.
