[QUOTE="SUX 2BU, post: 183378, member: 547471"] This is about the only intelligent response I've seen in this thread about why a cap is even used. It's there to help out the SLOWER response of the alternator and battery. A cap can respond to transients faster than the biggerst alternator or battery can. It's that simple. Now, long bass notes will drain a cap and then it will be come useless until it can recharge, so for people who listen to music with lots of sustained bass notes it won't help much. But for drum beats and what not, it can and does help. I've used them for 10 years and I like them. But, they are expensive for sure so I would say either pick up a used one or upgrade your alternator for the price of a new one. A cap won't really help a weak alternator, but it can complement a strong charging system.
