[QUOTE="bgowdy, post: 8211814, member: 632121"] First things first, you should lose the CAP. They really dont do you any good, tho it may seem they do they really hurt you more then they help. In your case it sounds like it(the cap) is hurting you. You should take a DMM and check voltage under your hood and then check voltage at the amp because 11.4v is to low. Even 12.0v is not really good voltage. It sounds to me that your CAP could be shorting. Again id lose the CAP and just put a 2nd battery in its place if you really need hel p in electrical. Also idk if you have the big 3 done yet but should also look into getting that done as well, you may not need anything extra after you do the big 3. But curious how big is your alt? and whats your idle voltage without playing any music? [/QUOTE]
