[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 145892, member: 542392"] You mean the caps with added goodies, that make them even more worthless than they are? Do you even GET the idea of a capacitor? The POINT is to NEVER, I repeat, NEVER!!! Restrict it in any way or form. This includes FUSES, JUNCTIONS, TERMINALS, and ANY OTHER RESISTIVE SOURCE, INCLUDING digital displays!!!!!!! Pop quiz, open your amplifier case, check out the capacitors feeding the power supply, you see ANYTHING in their path source to the voltage rails for the amp? NO!!!!!!!!! The fault is in YOUR logic, and I am getting tired of repeating myself for you! The REASON the 4ga will handle that amount of current is based upon current draw and average voltage drop. Drop voltage, create heat. Now tell me, why the HELL would you feed a cap with 0 gauge, then drop it to 4 to feed your amplifier, how bloody STUPID can you get? The highest current surge will happen AFTER the capacitor, for the feed to the amplifier, to put a smaller cable on it is about the same as running your head into a wall for an hour straight figuring you can walk through walls -- [B][I]POINTLESS!!!!![/I][/B] Read maylar's VERY EXCELLENT (thank you maylar!) response for added information, I'm really sick and tired of butting heads with you on subject matter that is common law to most educated car audio installers and techs.
