Pyle Capacitors?

[mr.cheez 10+ year member]

I have a Pyle Capacitor PLDCP3 3 Farad Digital Capacitor. I got a weird feeling that it's not working because when my car is idle, the lights flicker a bit as if I don't even have a bass cap. But when I'm driving, my lights are fine. Whats the deal? I also have a Infinity 1211a amp and 4 12.1d subs runnig off a 4 gauge wire with a 100amp fuse on it. I think thats the problem, but I'm not sure. I haven't did the big 3 upgrade either. I just ordered a 200 amp fuse and plan on getting a 0 gauge wire. Will this help?

Ditch the cap, do the big three.

Caps are just a gimmick imo, but some of the larger RF caps actually help, such as these...

Meade had a few of these in his Honda, now some dirty thieves have probably sold these for drug money. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The cap is worthless IMO. Sell it to some High School kid and make some money.

caops arent worthless, but if it only dims the lights at idle, your alternator might be crap. have it checked out, do a big 3 conversion, and keep the cap. also, never buy pyle again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
