Not gonna happen Brah. Go look at some builds similar to yours and see if they are using a cap.

OP, you came here for advice from what I'm assuming people that know more than you... If you knew more than everyone here, you wouldn't have had the question in the first place. Now, the effectiveness of caps is probably one of the most debated topics when it comes to car audio. Some say they work, some say they are a waste of money. Do a little searching and you will see for yourself.

Like you, I also hate asking a question and not getting an answer to that question but getting a bunch of info you weren't looking for. However, when a bunch of people make the same suggestion on a topic common sense usually says maybe you should consider what they are saying. After all you came here because you figured most here know more than you. The smart thing to do would be to consider what people are saying and go from there.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
