[QUOTE="Larrydehp920r, post: 35024, member: 541954"] When I bought a new vehicle about 3 years ago I decided to install it first without a capacitor. Well what I noticed is that my bass was not really as tight as I thought it should be. I thought it could be the amplifiers and seeing how I was ready for new ones anyway I bought some new amps. Well it was still not what I expected it to be. I had no light dimming or any other power drain problems. And yes I used a volt meter to test it. So then I figured what the hell and bought a 1Farad cap. I was very happy with the results, the bass was much tighter and more accurate than it was before the cap. So I think caps can help out alot in some cases. I am sold on capacitors. I run a mostly SQ system and my attention to detail over quantity is pretty good. Therefore, from a SQ standpoint a capacitor can make a subtle yet very important difference. Larry So for me it's like this----my SQ system + capacitor= me being [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] :D [/QUOTE]
