Any generic capacitor is terrible to use. They usually waste more power than they help. They just create a larger load for you alt to charge. The super caps and some similar one are the only good ones and they are only really useful for competition. They supply a large about of current for a short amount of time. So unless your trying to compete in an spl class then i would avoid a cap. Do the big 3 upgrade that Los recommended and that will help more than any cap will.

Don't need a capacitor if you do these things.

Whats amps are you going to be running in that car and Ohm load?

2 Ohm stereo and 2 ohm mono would be safe enough and serve well with decent power and battery bank,spec built enclosure Tuned properly,deadening doors ect for front stage

The guy who installs it has no idea what he's recommending. recommend just having decent sized battery in the back and you should be fine. If you ever want to go bigger. look up what the ELD bypass is for hondas. You can easily fit a mechman/us alt, singer or excessive amperage alt in there and have it working with no issues.
