[QUOTE="scoob8000, post: 5160235, member: 547804"] I dunno, I bought a cap years ago when I first started playing with car audio. I mainly bought it because I thought it was a cool idea (in a geeky way). I've used it in some systems since then and never really noticed a difference. I forget who told me this some years ago, but they way it was explained to me about the only use for a cap is to tie it directly into your B+ distro block feeding the amps for your highs. Mainly to help keep a constant voltage to the high amps whenever the sub hits. Don't know how much truth there is to that. That's just what I've been told. I suppose it would be easy enough to test with a quality DVOM. Watch the input voltage at the amp while playing a tuen with wide dynamic range, test with and without the cap and see what happens.
