[QUOTE="Wonderbread, post: 59606, member: 541455"] the only time a cap is theoretically beneficial, is when installed in a PROPERLY FUNCTIONING (read: supplying enough power) electrical system... Caps provide electricity faster than the alternator can produce it, for those really strong/long bass hits where the alternator can not quite keep up with the INITIAL strain the hard working amp puts on it... for example, if you are running a big amp, and your lights dim very slightly at eh beginning and ONLY the beginning of a bass note, a cap may help you... if your lights dim otherwise, or for longer, a cap will lilely put more of a strain on your system...
