[QUOTE="Plater, post: 59554, member: 541625"] Ok everyone on hear thinks that a cap will reduce the load on and electrical system. Why is this true?? Wait it isn't A cap stores charge where does this charge come from the battery and ultimately the alternator. If a big bass hit occurs then the charge from the cap is drawn but then the cap tries to get this charge back where does it come from the battery/alternator. Therefore the same load is on the electrical system. A cap doesn't create magical charge it has to come from somewhere. If it did maybe perpetual motion, time travel and stopping the earth from rotating are also possible. Really a cap is used to give the amp that little extra "juice" during a bass hit because they act faster then the battery for providing charge fast. But the cap DOESN'T help the electrical system in fact it is just another load on it. [/QUOTE]
