[QUOTE="envengineer, post: 2994413, member: 571710"] You do not need a capacitor. You need a bigger alternator. If your current draw is potentially 110, you are way short with a 95 amp alt. Remember that the 95 amp alt has to power the rest of your car, not just the amplifier. You are probably providing it with somewhere around 65 amps (just a ballpark, I have no idea what your car actually pulls). No capacitor is going to fix that. Before you get an alternator, find somewhere to have the amp bench tested or borrow a different amp. I know you keep saying those are impossible to do, but they are better than wasting money on something that [I]might[/I] fix the problem. [/QUOTE]
