[QUOTE="midnightg35x, post: 6262435, member: 608400"] No problem on the mistype. What is a digital capacitor? A capacitor with a digital voltmeter on top? The voltmeter has nothing to do with how the cap is made up. As far as I've seen, most of the caps used for car audio are electrolytic (not talking batcaps, 10F+, hybrid supercaps, etc). I actually use a cap (as I said way back in this thread). I use it because of price though. Similar to the cap I have, the new Lanzar's have an ESR of 1.6mOhm and can be got brand new from overstock for around $40. Probably even cheaper if you hunt around, especially used after the way people rag on them on these forums. A high end battery costs ~5x more, and for the function I want a cap is a better fit for a better price. I said it before, I use my cap for filtering the 12V line and for any very quick and very short transients. I had no issues before the cap, I have no issues now after the cap. As an EE, I just like the cleaner power line. I do not claim it adds dB's or audibly better SQ. It just helps shore up the electrical on the car. [/QUOTE]
