[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 99460, member: 544457"] Listen to this guy......and end up spending a lot of money on **** you do not need. A cap is not even a bandaid for a possibly failing system. It actually adds MORE stress and strain on the charging system. First and foremost upgrade would be possibly the alternator. QUite often you can get it rewound for much less the cost and have a higher output etc....Which is what you are looking for and will need with the amount of power you can be drawing. A new battery? What good is that going to do you other than maybe add to the time you can run the system until it dies? Not much! Go with the alternator first if you notice the system lacking and or can tell a noticeable difference in lights dimming etc....but you can wait until you are done with the install to determine this also.
