[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 34816, member: 541271"] Okay, here is my opinion on the cap situation, every system could use a cap. No matter how strong your altenator is, there is going to be a brief instance where it cannot supply the demand of power fast enough. Am I saying you will be able to hear a difference? No, I'm simply stating that your altenator cannot always completely keep up with the demand of power, that does not necessarily mean your lights will dim, it could mean that it is just a fraction of an amp(power). So to sum it up, there really is no right or wrong, to use a cap or not, if you think it benefits you, then by all means get it, if you don't think it will benefit you, then don't get it. Chances are, if your system is not sounding up to par, your gonna need to have the altenator rewound, a cap can only do so much, and I seriously doubt that you would be able to hear much of a difference if any at all.
