In my car the noise I have is an ignition based. I have replaced all spark plugs and wires, coil, distributor, pretty much the entire ignition system, and I still had the buzzing. So it was suggested to me to take a 2200 uF capacitor, and wire it from the positive of the ignition coil, to negative chassis ground. Poof the sound was gone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, I was about to do this to my Bonneville since I couldn't get rid of the whine. They my stereo got ripped off. Then my car caught on fire because of the dangling live wires, writing the car off.

Guess what? There's no more whine.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You are really missing some bolts and nuts. The way the CAP is designed is it has an positive input from the battery and a postive output to the amp. Once charged the positive can't flow backwards to the battery or the electrical appliances due to the circuitry of the CAP.

lmao.... just like the cap doesn't use the alternator to get a charge?? Maybe you should go google how a capacitor works, and how it works with the rest of your electrical system!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

This guy still arguing the value of caps? Can he read, or does he just see a jumble of words that disagree with his own supreme authority?

Makes perfect sense to me, and oh yea look at the date of the post, and look at the join date of the non believers.

After skimming over this thread I have noticed 3 things.

One- there is a right time to use a capacitor. Many don't know the hassles a cap can cure. It is NOT the cure for an inadequate power sulpply to the amp.

Two- people don't listen when you tell them they are wrong.

Three- there are a few here who have an attitude that is harmful rather than helpful. Look at the OP's situation and help him, don't spend your whole life bashing him.

There are some links below that will give you some information on how a cap works. The MAIN REASON I use a capacitor is to filter out the AC component that the DC current flows on. Kinda hard to explain. Its best function is to act as a filter to clean up your power source. Please read the ENTIRE page on both sites to gain knowledge on capacitors, you might even change your mind about them. Pay close attention to the parts talking about filtering AC current and cleaning the power source.

Quoted from your LINK

Also you should read your articles from a couple pages back, 2 of em said the same thing just different posters.

Honestly Just Give up your fighting a losing battle because the reasons your use a cap are wrong. If you were using it to clean your signal then great but they dont help with dimming.

Actually my voltage always stayed about 2v higher when running full tilt and using a cap.

On a 1000 watt amp that should be good for a couple hundred watts, eh?

If your system requires an external cap, you need to upgrade your wiring and/or your amplifier(s). Amp makers put caps in the input stages of their amplifiers.... so why do we assume they put an insufficient amount of them in it? Because we assume our amps **** balls?
