[QUOTE="iceteebone, post: 808931, member: 549344"] a cap should be the last thing you do to upgrade an electrical system. if you have a big enough alternator and big 3 upgrade, there shouldn't be a significant change in voltage when flipping on a/c if you got a decent electrical system. what a cap will come in handy is when you already have an upgraded electrical system the alt. can't release current instantly. there is like a 1 second delay. that is when a cap comes in handy. it can release that current instantly for a second before the alt. kicks in. then the cap draws current from the electrical system to store up. how can a cap help your system when it is drawing current from your electrical system, along with your amp, to store up?
