[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5489402, member: 596464"] I know the common consensus on ca.com is to say that a capacitor is totally and utterly useless, but in this case you have it and the way you are using it is fine. I have found capacitors to be helpful, just not for the reason they are marketed at. In some of my vehicles where noise was being introduced and I tried every avenue possible (including bringing my car to other "professional" installers), I installed a capacitor and it filtered out the noise. Of course later on I did realize that was a band aid for my problem because my mids/highs amp had something wrong with it and when I replaced it I no longer needed the capacitor. In another install, I utilized a capacitor for a friend because it had a voltage meter on top:D Would i recommend using a capacitor if your lights are dimming? Hell no, my advice would be to address the problem by upgrading your electrical system. [/QUOTE]
