[QUOTE="vitveet, post: 6776302, member: 557539"] Thanks! MOST people are misinformed about caps....they WILL help a system (small) out....but all the wiring and upfront battery has to be large/good! Most people that use caps have like 10 or 8 awg power/grounds (sometimes even 4 awg is too small) and don't have the big 3 done and they may have a $hitty front battery trying to charge the cap and power the amp(s) at the sametime....aint gunna happen! Then on the other hand, people that KNOW how to use a cap correctly are usually at the power stage where batteries are needed/used, so therefore, you don't have too many people correctly using caps. I've personally never used one in any of my personal vehicles but have used them plenty of times (correctly) for customers of mine with EXCELLENT success! It can be done, just needs to be done right! I'll get you those pics tomorrow chuckynorris as I'm in VA right now and won't be back til the morning. Thanks! Oh yeah, 8 awg is probably stock "big 3" wires. No point in half doing it in 4-8 awg either. If you're going to do it, do it right with 0 awg! Your electrical system will thank you later! V. [/QUOTE]
