Is my capaictor will affect my sound system?

My capaictor, i'm willing to take it out. Its a gold quest, 1,000watts range. Why? The positive screw is jam, so the power rings are loose, they have to touch to power my amp, it always shuts down my amp, because the power rings are not connecting. Should i take my cap out? Or leave it in, put some electric tape on (which i did, still shuts down often)?

I was curious if i take it out, my subs wont pound or theres nothing to do with it, it only helps for your lights wont dim?

Thanks!

why what?

The positive screw is jam,

high current can melt the screw it also happens on AMPs

so the power rings are loose,

this is very bad and will cause arcing and huge voltage drops

they have to touch to power my amp, it always shuts down my amp, because the power rings are not connecting

yup that happens with lose connections

. Should i take my cap out? Or leave it in, put some electric tape on (which i did, still shuts down often)?

well if you cann't tighten the screw then it's useless

I was curious if i take it out, my subs wont pound or theres nothing to do with it, it only helps for your lights wont dim?

You wouldn't hear a difference
Thanks!
