well capacitors are used to help voltage drop on your amp. I dont know where people get off thinking that they are used to stop voltage drop on ur cars electrical system. Like light dimming and what not, it makes no sense since it is in the systems specific circuit. I think capacitors might help if they have a low enough esr.

you get into things such as resistance ,decay and a bunch of other crappolla. like i said they are /were intended to be a high speed voltage bridge for better transiant response not to stop your cars from dimming. also resistance and decay along with amp technology makes caps not really needed. as a betting man i would say between all the digi caps and the junk caps marketed now they more and likely do less than they did 5 yrs ago lol.

Everything is connected.....you can't have the voltage input to your amp drop without the car's entire electrical system dropping voltage. It's not like the input to your amp will drop to 11V while everything else is still getting 13.8V. If the input to the amp drops to 11V, then the entire car's electrical system dropped to 11V (hence why the lights dim and such)

I'm about to buy caps in bulk and start selling them on ebay, cause people still buy into the fact that they magicly work ugh, sorry

it probably is a good business to get into....cause I would say the majority of the population buys into the fact that they do in fact work...

...in this way, you can still be the honest salesman...w/o saying a word...cause the population thinks a certain way already.

i dunno when i took mine out after a while it seems like the the lights dim just a tad more, i just liked it for the volt meter
