dont use a cap. look up the big 3 thread. thats all you need. a cap is useless and does nothing to correct the problem is supposed to.

you'll need a capacitor called "The Big Three"

i just looked it up . big three is not a capacitor. its the three things in ur electrical system u need to take care of, to solve the problem.

the "Big Three" upgrade means improving the current capacity of three cables: 1) alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis. Some people replace the factory wiring; others add additional cables to the factory wiring.

we know. to put it blatantly, caps ****. dont use them. they dont solve anything, they just add to the confusion in your electrical system. dont use one.

we are saying, do the big 3 upgrade and youll be set. take that $100 bucks youd spend on a cap and buy some better shit. or beer and ship it to me.

or a wonderful deep cycle battery like an optima, stinger, or kynetik

grab some 0/1 and ring terminals.. and take ur saturday afternoon and fix it.. then if ya have cash left over invest in a bigger battery... which I doubt you will need with that amount of power ur running
