[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 8284004, member: 631331"] Haha, funny. Yeah CAPs aren't the enemy, but usually are not cost effective for the need. The advantage to a CAP vs a Battery is the output is much much more responsive. Caps can drop almost all of their energy very quickly, batteries can't quite achieve the level of output that a CAP can, but that doesn't mean CAPs will help any electrical situation, and the amount of energy they hold is next to nil, I figure they can help with the drop of voltage in your system, but not to a real significant amount to make them cost effective, or to provide you with enough clean power. They make some very large caps that would obviously help voltage drop a great deal and in some people's systems they can help to balance out voltage drops. Batteries and alternators good wires and connections help with this as well and should always be the primary focus in the electrical. P.S. for the title of the thread "they're" the apostrophe take the place of an "a" (they are) which is the correct type to use in this situation. "Their" shows ownership as in the subs are theirs, not mine. [/QUOTE]
