[QUOTE="Oldbasshead, post: 8842720, member: 688756"] I appreciate the replies! I'm actually feeding a 1500W and an 800W with a 4G power wire. The voltage drops severely on heavy bass notes, enough to send that cap into protect when it drops under 11V, which I assumed the amps would probably do anyway without the cap. I'd rather the cap go into protect than the much more expensive amps. Running a 1/0 "trunk" line should alleviate that for me. In retrospect, I definitely should have started with the heavier gauge wire to begin with. And I've accidentally released the "magic smoke" from a regular electrolytic cap before. Smelled awful! Again, definitely not opposed to removing it once I have the 1/0 run, but having the voltage readout is helpful. 😊 [/QUOTE]
