i hate to burst your bubble op. but the cap is doing more harm then helping. A cap is being used as a bandaid. its covering up your electrical voltage problem. While your eyes are seeing dimming with the cap out, you can clearly see you are having a problem, but with the cap its covering up fooling you to believe you have solved the problem. In the long run, your batteries will die out sooner, and your alternator is taking a beating from trying to keep up the charge for the demand of power. my suggestion to you is to start by getting a deepcycle battery, then upgrade your wires(with a thicker guage) coming from your alty to bat(as well as grounds). then if problem still occurs, upgrade to a higher amp alternator.

so long story short solve the problem, dont cover it

edit: i c/pied from another cap thread i replied to

I use a Tsunami capacitor. Very nice for the money. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

CAPS do not HARM your system when used correctly. No they will not help if you have headlight dimming and such but thats not what they are meant for. When used correctly they do have a purpose.

Don't use a capacitor here

none

they do stiffen voltage rails and less the peak demands on your alternator

i used no capacitor with 4kw rms and my voltage never dropped below 13.8.

2nd battery will do more than a cap
