[QUOTE="natem33, post: 18244, member: 541071"] The technicalities of the science may show that a cap would not work in that situation. I understand that, and can't argue with science. But somehow a cap does seem to work. I've used them in two of my vehicles, and although I still had alternator issues, the lights no longer dimmed and the bass sound was tighter and hit lower than ever before. This type of results from applying a cap is not just unique to my set ups. A cap was originally recomended to me by a pro install company. They may have just been trying to make a sale but I was happy with their recommendation. The best cure for the dimming light problem is upgrading the alternator. A cap just covers up the alternator problems. As MXRacerCam and sytekz said, they are meant to be used as a power source to supply large demands of power in bursts. I guess it's like my solution for a leaky exhaust - put soup cans around the pipe and clamp it...It doesn't cure the problem, but it helps. [/QUOTE]
