[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 2923566, member: 568577"] I sorta have done that. I was running a Treo SSX 1500.1 off an hc 1400 and the big 3 with a 90A stock alt...didnt have that much dimming at full tilt....then i dropped in a soundstream xxx 6500 and thats when i had problems, with the car off that is. i had quite a bit of dimming with the car on, but it help up somewhat decently at full tilt. To those who say caps are useless, well I can say for myself, I think the same. Though they do something as someone said, but not all that much. It takes some time for it to store the energry and then it has to release what it has stored. Every time a bass note hits it has to give off what it stored. Honestly, caps are useless as far as a cost comparison to a battery goes. An HC 600 will be much more sufficicent and doesnt cost all that much more. Big 3 would be the best way to start off, then a battery, then an alternator (of course this is doing it the cost effective way). It would be best to add possibly a second battery if you're putting out quite a bit of power. [/QUOTE]
