[QUOTE="tat2bass, post: 7785883, member: 635306"] Could be that it just went bad. Word of advice, scrap the cap. Capacitors are just another point of failure and do not provide any real benefit. Especially with your system. You have no need for one. Might help if you give the model number of the amp. It isn't a 4000 watt amp. Remember to always deal with RMS figures, no one really pays attention to peak numbers. They mean nothing and only serve as a way for companies to try to lure people in that don't know any better. For the power that you are running, you probably don't need two 150 amp fuses either. Having too many fuses or too high of a rating can be bad. Your alt might be spiking power or something like that and the fuses are there to protect the amp. If you have to high a rating of fuse, then it won't go out and the amp receives more power than it should which can cause it to go into protect. Not good. [/QUOTE]
