[QUOTE="GNVINNY, post: 7150914, member: 628813"] I actually came across this thread while looking up something else and figure Id give my input.Caps can help in a sense of audio but not in the way the avg person thinks.I think as far as storage capacity and discharge rate there a waste.The alternator Makes AC and converts it to DC using the diodes inside.You get alternator noise do to some Ac signal getting into the Power lines, bad grounds I even seen amps power supply freq bother other amps giving them noise.Anyway caps can help in getting that AC signal out (THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ENGINE NOISE),they help filter it out.But then you have the battery Acting as the big filter.If its ran inline with the alternator or near it then yes it has a sense to it.That's the only thing I can think about.Back in the day mid 80's amps needed the caps for the power supply and people came along turned it into something else.I just upgrade the alternator depending on what im doing and put two batteries and never have diming or any problems.Also you have to realize people want to make money doing what they do.Like when I do a bandpass in a trunk,who just wants to look at a piece of plexi and some carpet.It looks dull.The cap distribution block wires etc make it look nice.That's what people like.I added pictures not to show off or anything Just to give an idea of what Im talking about.Like a customer opens the truck and just sees 2 10's on a piece of wood,they want it flashy its the business.
