Since they don't hold much, and the rate of discharge is usually pretty hefty, they really don't have much for long. A really large capacitor bank would hold a larger charge, but at some point you have to ask yourself why? The ESR of each capacitor would make that not so attractive. Capacitors are just not very effective at these low voltages. If you had some higher voltage capacitors on the high voltage rails of the amplifier it would actually make for a much more efficient power supply design etc. That's actually what rockford did with the t15k. For what we are discussion though, capacitors aren't very effective... but they also don't hurt anything.</p></blockquote><p></p>
