[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7549327, member: 614752"] This is all I ever do to set my gains. 90% of the time I don't go anywhere near full out anyway so it doesn't matter. As far as what's safe for the amp it depends on the amp, some will go down til your car stalls from low voltage, some give up smoke below 12.5V. I'd suggest throwing another battery or bigger alternator if possible. If you're wondering if the cap will help, charge it up, turn your amp on full tilt (or even half power) and let the amp run off of JUST the cap and tell us how long it'll run with the "reserve" on tap in that capacitor.
