[QUOTE="Frraksurred, post: 201797, member: 544871"] My understanding and experience is if you upgrade the power and ground wires of your amp and battery, ensuring if your power wire is 4g from batt to amp (and for a 1200.1 4g would be minimum, 0g would be better), then your ground wire should be the same. This includes your batteries ground wire to the engine block or frame and amp ground. If this is all in place then (as previoulsy stated) look into getting your alt rewound. Only after these steps would I look into a [I]low[/I] ESR cap if you think you still need one. They do help to provide instant power reserve for high wattage systems that utilize a lot of bass. However (again as already stated) only go this route after the previous steps are taken. [/QUOTE]
