[QUOTE="bigbang, post: 3222119, member: 576408"] Every amp I have ever owned has had some sort of capacitor bank inside them, but they didn't help with my headlights flashing and voltage jumping all over the place. I have owned Rockford Fosgate and MTX amps. How much capacitance should a well designed amp have built in? You ever seen the Rockford Fosgate T15kW amp in Car Audio's June 06' magazine? Well they claim that with a proper electric system that the amp can produce 15,000 Watts RMS. Not a typo. And they use some ungodly capacitor inside designed specialy by the power industy, which is supposed to be 5500 times more efficient than a normal electrolyte capacitor for a given size. Anyway, since most all amps have built in capacitance, more cant hurt right? Helps regulate the voltage to a better degree. Otherwise why have capacitors in amps at all if they are totally useless?
