[QUOTE="Partagas, post: 855477, member: 560453"] I started to write a really long explanation about capacitors and the math behind why they work but I realized that even with 1900 posts you will still be a moron when it comes to electrical theory. A cap does not hold just a momentary or split second charge as you have stated. A 5 Farad cap will hold 70 amp-seconds @ 14 volts. Don’t believe me? Then I encourage you to do the math yourself and look up Coulomb’s law, as you can see it’s not called Partagas law. This is real electrical theory not some made up crap that you spit out of your mouth because your mom told you to say it. The need for a cap in any car audio system drops when you upgrade alternators and put in multiple batteries, but even a 160 amp alternator might need help (assuming one battery) if you have every electrical thing on in your car (headlamp, A/C, stereo) and capacitors don’t hurt especially when you already own them.
