[QUOTE="Wonderbread, post: 82009, member: 541455"] really, they dont do a whole heack of a lot in most apps... caps provide smalla mounts of power for VERY short periods of time.. many people will tell you to buy a cap if your lights dim, or if your electrical system is havinga rough time.. They're Wrong. The only time a cap *MAY* be beneficial is if you ahve a properly functioning electrical system (IE - no major light dimming, no voltage drop etc) but your alternator cant quite keep up with the sudden demand for current taht your amps want for big bass hits... you will see this when your ilights will dim slightly at the beginning of a note only, but brighten back up again after that intial burst... a cap can help the alt. match the requirements of the amp, but should only be used in a properly functioning electrical system. The single best way to upgrade your elec. system is a new or rewound alternator.. but again, only if you need it... [/QUOTE]
