Capacitor help

[juukno 10+ year member]

i have a tsunami 2 fared cap hooked up right now.

i'm upgrading and need a little larger output.

i found a stinger hybrid cap at a local pawn shop, but it has no model number or fared reading - for 65$, tested and works.

i have been looking long and far for information on it and i found a picture. does anyone have any information or know how much fareds it is or maybe a model number? it seems to be a older model since i cannot find it anywhere.

think its a good investment either way?

thanks so much for any help!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

oh my yes unless its not a low budget one. I think RF makes a nice 5 farad cap that you're looking for

what kind of car do you have? and do you know your alternator rating? the best thing to do would be to try and run the amp you have and see how your car reacts. if your getting big voltages drops go from there. we can not tell you that you will be good for sure. but like i said before ditch the cap!

cap is actually helping out dimming while giving me a digital readout for the trunk. i have a town car with stock 130A alternator

No one said it wouldn't-- but it puts a bigger strain on your electronic system. If you do The Big 3 you'll have zero dimming issue and your electrical system will run a lot smoother and you won't ever have to use that cap.
