[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8816256, member: 683408"] It’s more a matter of learning and understanding at this point. If 500F would only power an amp for a few seconds for that kind of money, wouldn’t it make much more sense to run another battery? Or are there other benefits to a cap (weight, voltage sag, safety)? In home audio it’s always “more is better”, but I assumed it had to do with the 15 amp limitations at a power outlet (ignoring of course that it’s 10x the voltage of a car system), and relying on capacitors for surge power.
