[QUOTE="deaf tones, post: 809964, member: 559871"] GEL CELL BATTERIES: (ex: optima yellow top) that's so very true...and a regular battery dies for a reason though!!! (at about 9.5amps) gel/dry cell batteries keep going...and going...and going way past the threshold. What do you think will happen to your electrical system if you play it to saaayyyy 8 volts?! It broke my heart to get rid of my yellow tops...but it did me good. Don't even bother buying a gel cell...if you incist on listening to the system with the car parked, just start the car!!! caps CAN do more damage than good. If you empty the cap's reserve (which happens after a fraction of a second) then all you have is another drain on your hands...then not only will your amp starve for power your cap is starving for power too...and which is gonna get the power? The cap because it's first in line before the amp. the only real good a cap can do for you is quick bursts...like at a comp when a fraction of a second burp is necessary. Also for snappier bass...it will get the power to the amp a fraction of a second faster than a battery will just from being closer. Now if you already get a cap...1/4 farad or something...you CAN run it from your alt to your battery to eliminate ac ripple [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] bottom line...don't waste the money on the cap when it can be spent elsewhere (like a beefed up alt [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] ) [/QUOTE]
