[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4916853, member: 549629"] If they are the cylindrical 1-farad type caps, no they aren't hurting anything. They have a low enough ESR to not really cause any of the resistance problems some of the other large multi-farad caps do. If you already owned them, I dont blame you for putting them in. A power storage device near your amp(s) is a good thing, less line loss between the two during peak power demands this way. I would rather have a nince low ESR batt sitting there next to the amps than a cap, but like I said, if you already had them, Im sure they help in that regard. [/QUOTE]
