[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8892686, member: 683415"] Yea there will be songs that clip unavoidably without turning down your gain. For me that song is Breath by Yeet. The mix is very bass heavy with lots of transients and I have to crank my gain way down. Could be a voltage issue as well. You can stick a voltage meter on there and see what the voltage sag looks like when the bass hits. Also if that capacitor is just the traditional cylinder style one that the big name audio companies sell, it'd probably be best to swap that out for either a second battery or replace your starter battery with an AGM. 1 farad is only good for a couple watts. So you'd need several thousand farads to make a good difference. Usually the ones they sell online at places like Crutchfield or Sonic Electronix are good for 4 or 5 farads so they will only have the capacitense equivalent of a few dozen watts at most. The capacitors used by pros in competition are usually several capacitors rated for a couple hundred farad "wired" in series. They look more like a lithium bank than the traditional tube style capacitors they are heavily marketed [/QUOTE]
