[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1010699, member: 561023"] My opinions on capacitor usage are based on personal experience. The cap I own is one from a reputable wiring accessories company (though I've read a few different places that all capacitors regardless of brand label are all manufactured in the same buildhouse) and for a 1 farad cap is one of their nicer models. As previously stated [I]I noticed no improvement[/I] with it in use as opposed to without it. Most caps retail for a C-note or better and I simply cannot see where it would be a worthwhile investment. I don't need to 'learn some electronics before I make myself sound dumb.' {speaking of sounding dumb, by the way, if you'll have another look at your post y-o-u-r-s-e-l-f is one word, genius ~ not two} I well know how to properly install and use mobile audio equipment, tyvm. There was no discernable advantage to having that capacitor inline so I cannot justify to myself or anyone else to go and spend $100 or more on something that isn't going to help them any. [/QUOTE]
