[QUOTE="M@nJo, post: 821347, member: 559973"] does your friend work at circuit city too?? caps can help achieve the maxium watts of your system. most amps claim there xxxx rms @ 14.4v and in order to get that full rms watts, your obviously gonna need a stable 14.4v electrical system right? i believe cap(s) helps keep you at the 14.4v level which is great to get to the max potential of your stereo system. however, it also helps prevent dimming but not gauranteed. yes it can also hurt your system as well because it requires more juice as if you didnt have a cap. i say dont get it and first try the DIY big-3 upgrade as its the most cost effective solution. its only about $40-50 of materials and an hour of your time and thats well worth it to prevent dimming, strain on electrical system AND voltage drops. then if neccesary, HO alternator [/QUOTE]
