[QUOTE="Raven, post: 1338596, member: 558368"] That's bogus. When external car amp capacitors were originally designed they had amplifiers in the 100 watt range in mind, and they were usually a half or quarter-farad. To say that the only reason they aren't working is because they aren't big enough can't be right when they're 4 times bigger what they used to be for the same application. Rather, most capacitors made for amps today are just too sluggish to do what they're supposed to. Especially the bigger ones. Check out "ESR" on caps for more info. [/QUOTE]
