CApacitor recommendation

[Louiss11]

I wanted to know what capacitors you guys recommend. There are many 1 or 2 farad capacitors that cost the same as this 8 farad capacitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DXAVTS/ref=zg_bs_10981571_4/136-8181837-7333553?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JW86JVRRM39WA2A6AW92

Which do you recommend for under 50 bucks?

I recommend you don't waste your money on a capacitor and spend that money on an upgraded AGM front battery or a a secondary rear battery.

Capacitors are a waste of money, upgrade the main battery and/or add a second battery.

Please do not buy this or anything like it. The only worthwhile capacitor technology these days is the ultra-capacitors. They are limited to 3V so you need multiples to be useful for our applications and by the time you buy enough to make a bank you'll be up around the same money you'd spend for a quality AGM battery which will do far more good for reinforcing electrical system for 99% of applications.

You are better off spending that 50 dollars on several lap dances at a strip club.

Baby Capacitors like that literally do nothing, actually sometimes with all the lights and stuff they drain your electrical system and basically hurt it even more. Complete and utter garbage. 50$ should go in to the big 3 upgrade or saved up for a 2ndary agm battery upgrade or an alternator rebuild or eventual alternator upgrade. Those are the only things that actually do anything to help your vehicle's electrical system.

Here you go. It’s a little bit of a long read, but it backs up what everyone else is telling you. Caps are useless for car audio. Post up the equipment that you have now and the problem that you think a cap would fix. We can tell you how to actually fix it.

Depends on what power you are running, budget, and if you are talking front battery whatever size will fit.
