[QUOTE="adam71, post: 1039559, member: 549079"] I would have to agree with Prowler in this case. Except for in MY case. I know what everyone is thinking but hear me out. A year and half ago I noticed at night I was getting slight dimming in my headlights when a hard bass crash hit. Example: I was listening to Stabbing Westward. Anyway, I found a couple 1 farad caps at Parts Express which were on sale for $50 a piece. Installed them not really caring if they worked wonders or not since I was only out $100 if they didn't help. Keep in mind I had already upgraded my wires under the hood - 4 gauge from the alt to the battery, etc . But I only have a stock or little better alternator. I didn't notice any difference in sound of course but when I took a ride that night with the music up loud (and I brought a bass-heavy cd with me) the headlights were NO longer dimming. I know a HO alt would be the BEST way to fix this problem but when I priced them they were over $300 for one for my car and that is ALOT more than the $100 I spent on the caps. So to put plainly........the capacitors HELPED my system.
