[QUOTE="reneeb7363, post: 2331225, member: 569914"] clarify please... Are we talking Farad as in .5, 1.0 and larger for car audio application, say in a trunk? The great myth is that these larger CAPacitors provide that extra "Kick" or more "Power" (((I know, I know guys..gimme a minute)))) the smaller "CAPS" are used in crossovers, amplifiers, and other electrical components and are usually measured in micro-farads. Two entirely different applications... one good, one.....well...lets just call it a myth. the larger capacitors are used for mostly a/c power application as buffers for a specified circuit...like starting an electric motor that requires three times the amperage at start-up. (ie: a 1/2 hp pump motor may run at a constant 8 amps but will require 21-24 amps to get it going) It just does not work, like the hyped sellers in the car audio industry try to tell you it will.
