[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 4907325, member: 596464"] One of the things that always amazes me is how some people say that caps are great because it helped with their light dimming problem from the bass notes. They always seem to post back weeks later saying that their alternator failed. In many cases caps = band aids to electrical system inadequacies. I have a friend who swears by caps, yet he has been through SIX alternators this year with only 800 watts on his 1994 Civic Hatch. IIRC his alternator is 70 amps and he is just running the stock equivalent battery. I have a Kinetik battery that should be here Friday and I plan to add a HO alternator to my 1997 Civic. I am either going with an old school Linear Power OR Orion HCCA install in my Civic. Hell, I may even add another Kinetik to the trunk. Regardless, it is my opinion that an upgraded electrical system beats a cap in most cases! [/QUOTE]
