[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7085072, member: 624844"] That's a good point many people don't think about. Anyone who's listened to a noisy AM radio or CB in a car has heard the pops/clicks, alternator whine, ignition, etc through their system. The only way to help kill the noise is with caps on the offending device... I bet he did it to help all the noise (electrical or audible) of a running car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there were high slew rate batteries available back then? The AGM and other deep cycle batteries we have now can provide the instant power needed for some systems. I think a cap within a few inches of the amp will help a lot more than your typical battery that was available back then? Current can only flow so fast from a lead acid battery. [/QUOTE]
