THEY DON"T WORKKKKKKKKKKKKK..........i can't directly link you to the website due to the rules but go to the website internetisseriousbusiness.com and it will tell you everything you need to know. not much reading there...its straight to the point. And theres no need for cursing here....its actually against the terms of service

some people say they do, and some say they dont.

i can google capacitors and there are many sites that tell me its very important to get a capacitor,especially if your lights dim. including experts at circuit city, and best buy. but im pretty sure u guys know what ur talking about too.

i think its best i get a cap, because i cant do the "big 3".

lose what attitude? like i going to sit here and read all that shit and still not know a **** thing its talking about. wtf!! i dont know how to ****ing wire any got **** thing. so why would i want to do the "big 3" looks like u need to do some reading, look at my previous post, i dont know anything about that shit. i really dont care what your running, ppl have different cars, different batteries. and spending a few more dollars on a cap aint gonna hurt.
can someone give me a yes or no answer.

We already did. Pick a cap any cap, they'll all do pretty much the same thing, ala nothing. So I guess my advice is get the cheapest one you can, lord knows if I decided to throw money away I'd rather throw away the smallest amount possible.

We recommended the big 3 because it costs less and actually will help maximize the current your charging system can already produce. If you dont' want to learn about it then either find a shop that knows what it is (unlikely) or go waste money on a cap. Circuit City and best buy are a joke. Big retail chains dont' tend to specialize at much of anything, especially not car audio, in this case. The big 3 isn't that hard, not much trickier than putting in a cap. Your changing out 3 wires in your car, big deal..

wow, this thread has gotten good...

Again, caps are crap. Get a nice batt and you will be fine, its only 400watts

i got the same reaction when i came around here. i didn't know what i was doing but read enough, looked at my car, (where stuff was, i.e. alt, battery, chassis) and did it, so i didn't mean to give you a hard time, just tried to help you fix instead of bandaid the problem... but anyway here you go... absolute 1.5 farad cap on a site called online car stereo, $49.00 i believe before shipping...

i dont have time to learn, between school,work,etc. im not a brainiac car wiz, who was born to know everything their is to know about cars like you guys. im pretty sure learning would take some time. and besides i dont wanna **** up nothing, or get electrecuted.

fair enough...i respect the fact that you know your limitations. But i think even a really good battery will help you more than the cap will. Optima, Stinger, Kinetik, Die Hard platinum, etc.
