[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8323262, member: 650438"] Most of what they say are baloney just so you buy their garbage. Most of the times a capacitor is a leech in the system not doing much because in car audio, the current draw is soo much that even a 100 true farad capacitor does not have enough capacitance to help alleviate the heavy draw. It takes power to make power, if you want better voltages, you need a high output alternator and a big battery bank for a reservoir of power. For the cost of a garbage capacitor that does nothing, you can buy a small secondary little batcap or kinetik hc600 and get amazing results compared to a capacitor. Do not group ultra capacitors with those garbage hybrid capacitors. They are in totally different universes. A proper maxwell ultracapacitor bank will cost A LOT of money but you'll also need to pair it up with a high ouput alternator depending on how big your setup is. People running ultra capacitor banks take the car batteries out completely, pretty getting power straight from the alternator. Theres enough charge to still able to start perfectly fine and it'll have long life cycles but you have to know your stuff to run it properly. Long does not mean indefinite, everything dies out with age. moral of the story, unless you are going balls to the walls extreme with the ultra capacitors, mainstream regular capictors are garbage, they belong in the dumpster or as a doorstop. Complete and utter waste of money. [/QUOTE]
