Caps don't do much good. If you're experiencing electrical problems, then try...

The Big 3 upgrade

New battery

New Alt

ust pick the one that looks the best, because its pretty much there just for looks.

If the rest of your electrical system cant keep up (as stated above), then adding a cap wont relly do a good job

no capacitor would be very economical and do your system very good

What a capacitor is "supposed to do" is keep your line voltage at a constant. It helps keep your voltage from dropping too low. The only thing is NOT too many capacitors actually accomplish this feat and therefore are of NO practical use other than spending money on them.

BTW.....I use (2) 1 farad capacitors in my vehicle. I have them in line with my sub amps. Before I put those in I had slight head light dimming on big bass hits. Now I no longer have any dimming of the head lights what so ever. So in that case it worked. Truth be known an alt upgrade may have solved that problem for me too but I chose a path that included caps.
