using a capcitor does help..........

Hummmmm. Senor Clark is a good guy, maybe I should go up and visit with the ole chap again. I am up for the whole "buy me an amp of my choice" thing. Prove to me a cap has NO SINGLE use in car audio and then fire away with your amp of choice and it will be on its way. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

All caps are the same. No matter there size, construction, or usage.

They have their purpose. But to eliminate dimming is not one of them.

I don't think anyone is arguing that they don't have a use, they can be very useful in filtering the input, as well as a number of other things. They just aren't useful in the way the OP is saying....

Its to filter input spikes out caused by a number of different things.

I thought they work..but before coming on this forum I really didnt think of the big 3 or a 2nd battery as an option. But I have a 2000 watt system and my lights dim like crazy and I have a % farad cap (suppose to be 1 farad=1000watts) so I should be able to handle 2000 watts..but my alpine type x make every single light in my car dim..so i am upgrading to a 2nd batt and the big 3 now...lol..so i have my cap for sale...lol

im sure urs are that loud huh? i think u owe me a new amp. u said i had to disprove that ur capacitor helps, which is what i did. u said nothing about the caps in the amp. thus, i win.

My friend, I just did a search on why capacitors don't help car audio, and the only thing that came back was some one posting in a forum just like us giving bogus and uninformed information why it didn't help him. NOW I am going to go back to school on you , yes I attend an ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING SCHOOL and obtained my DEGREE. I can email you a copy of that also. Capacitors do exactly what we what them to do. They STORE ENEGERY for rapid use. SO nobody in here can tell me the capacitor I bought is not doing just as I described. And you definitely can't prove to me I didn't notice a difference in the bass getting mushy when the cap wasn't installed . So having said that I would like an amp theat can push four tens @ 1 ohm 300 watts per speaker. Do I have to figure that out also?
