[QUOTE="axeten, post: 7095162, member: 627481"] It does make sense that a cap wont pull power while your amp needs it. In simple terms i see it like this: Lets say your amp is a big pump pulling fluid from a tank (your alternator)..... If there is a small tank (the capacitor) connected to the same line so the pump (Amp) can be pulling from both. Lets say the small capacitor tank runs dry. Your pump (amp) will still **** power from your big tank (alternator) but the little tank wont fill till the pump stops *******..... So the alt supplies the amp as this is the easiest flow path for the electricity. Once the amp no longer needs the power it will redirect to the cap as this has become the easier path for the electricty to go. This is the way i see it since it is called current "draw" from your electrical system. Not current "push" from the source. I'm only looking at it this way as we have "accumulators" for fuel oil and hydraulic operated valves at work which help support a loss in supply pressure. I'm in no way saying this is true or this is how it works.
