[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 8380997, member: 567719"] If you can provide any technical data then I would more than happy to entertain this discussion. Posting a link to a half-[COLOR=black]a[/COLOR]ssed youtube experiment is not technical data (There's a reason they disabled comments on that video). Ideal* Capacitors do not consume energy they only store it, so the idea that they could constantly restrict current flow is absurd. His statement about the 'right' and 'wrong' way to wire a cap leads me to believe he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about either. A capacitor is wired in parallel with battery/amp/etc meaning where it's connected has very little effect on what it's meant to do which is be a quick supply of current during heavy draw. Again, I'm not making an argument for the use of capacitors but I will make an argument against false information about their effects. *I realize there is no such thing as an ideal capacitor and they will all have some impedance and leakage however this amount is negligible when referring to the scale in question.
