[QUOTE="mud, post: 413518, member: 550416"] I have no idea how a cap could possibly hurt your install, but it won't really help it either. It just evens out the current flow to your amp a little bit. There is no evidence that capacitors make your system louder/better etc, spend the money on battery/alt/wire like kicker said. As for when you need an electrical upgrade, a ballpark figure would be somewhere around 1000wrms, but it really depends on the equipment you have now (alt, wiring, amplifier). If your lights dim when the bass hits, that means you could use an upgrade [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] but a cap won't fix that, or at least not much.
