[QUOTE="Ronjon17, post: 7437481, member: 619906"] Hello All, I posted on a different thread with my setup and some guys were telling me I should remove my capacitor and didn't explain why. I asked an no response - so I thought I would throw the general question out there... when should you not use a capacitor? And are there any negative effects of using one? Here's my setup previously: Boston Acoustics SR-60 Front Components BA SR-65 Rear Door BA RM-9 Rear Deck 2 10" MTX Subs MTX 4 Channel Amp Kenwood Mono 3 Farad Cap My MTX 4 Channel died (it was a very old amp). Just purchased a Boston Acoustics GTA 1105. I'm gonna see how it sounds powering the whole system. From my research it should be sufficient for the interior speakers, but might not be enough fo the subs. If it sounds good, I'm going to sell the Kenwood Mono and just have 1 amp for a clean setup. So if I just have the GTA1105 - any downsides to having a cap? What are the reasons for getting rid of it? Not looking to win competitions here, I liked how the system sounded before the amp died and if I can get it equivalent or better, I'll be happy. [/QUOTE]
