[QUOTE="SounDrive, post: 8128453, member: 653833"] Maybe you're talking about the added load from a discharged cap? It's actually pretty much non existent unlike in standard caps. The resistance of an ultracap is nearly zero, so there's no extra load. Also music is dynamic, you're not going to see much of a drop unless you're playing tones for more than a burp. Quote from TaylorFade Source: (this 20 page thread with tons of info from T-Fade and KHA) [URL="http://mobileaudioforum.com/forum/showthread.php?2170-Capacitors-are-cool&highlight=ultracapacitors"]Capacitors are cool[/URL] I was also skeptical at first. But after some pretty extensive research, they have really impressed me. Think of it like this: the average amperage draw of music is not going to be much more than a stock alt can handle. It's just the spikes that cause voltage drop. Ultracaps smooth out these spikes. Even if it's just a little too much for your stock alt, add a small HO alt and you're taken care of.
