[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8822107, member: 673826"] The rough idea: batteries add capacity (so after a song you'll be at, say, 13v instead of 11.9) but they aren't great at delivering high amperage current. Capacitors are the other way around. They don't have much reserve but they can deliver very high current without being damaged. You do need to fix your fuses. If both amps draw just below their max rates capacity then all that current has to come through one wire at the battery and that fuse will pop. Is your alternator not charging properly? I missed that. [/QUOTE]
