[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7678593, member: 549629"] Just the opposite actually. The cap will not recharge until the current drain subsides to a point that system voltage starts to go back up. The only added drain the cap will place on the circuit when system voltage is bottomed out is its internal resistance, but that resistance is always there anyway. At a 1/2 farad, Im guessing its a standard electrolytic type cap, and its internal resistance probably isnt big enough to cause any noticeable (certainly not audible) problems. But its also small enough that its probably not making any audible improvements either. Basically, I wouldnt have bought it, but once I already owned it, I wouldnt worry about replacing it with a gauge, unless I just wanted to mount a gauge in the dash or something. [/QUOTE]
