[QUOTE="Mr. Loki, post: 251089, member: 545020"] Ok so what if your alt is not big enough to keep your battery charged for the system your running? Then you add a cap? So now tell me how possible it is? On top of that yea your alt charges your battery when the car is on and it charges more while in motion. So you cant expect to go out there start your car jam your music and have a charged battery. you would have to let it sit for about 20-30 minutes to charge...your better off driving with no tunes for about 45minutes....just think bro Again yea the alt charges your battery ere day, but what charges the cap ere day? bottom line a cap is a temporary fix and it cost more, because in the long run your gonna have to first I would say upgrade your alt. So the money you spent on the cap should have gone toward the alt being rewound for starters. example: your stock alt is 80amp so you get it wound and spend 70$ (1$ per amp) you have your self a 150amper alt. Then you amp doesnt over heat and try to do more then it can...then your lights never dim, battery doesnt go dead because the alt can now keep up with the charge demand and your system will play as loud if not louder then with a cap.
