[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8720379, member: 676743"] Yikes! I don't think I have ever seen a capacitor explode like this before. I do know that going cheap on capacitors will do this more then a quality capacitor. I am also one that doesn't believe in them between a Big 3 upgrade, alternator, I wouldn't use one. I would do a battery instead of one because of issues like this. Soundbox isn't necessary the cheapest but also isn't top of the line. Sorry you had to endure this, main thing is though like you said no one got hurt & windows are replaceable. I shattered a hatch back window on my '96 Escort GT but that was because of the pressure. Hopefully someone else can add some more information on what possibly caused this. I would say overcharging it or a fault in the production of the capacitor. I would also contact the company and ask them if they ever had one do this. I highly doubt they will do anything but it doesn't hurt to ask. [/QUOTE]
