Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3626 Registered: Oct-05 | do you have a ho alt? if you don't then don't even bother with a cap. the cap is only going to put more strain on your stock alternator. |

|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 238 Registered: Feb-06 | what exactly you asking? ho means high output alt. and if you don't have one with that kind of power you'll need one. you're stock alt. won't put out enough power to properly run that system and eventually it'll die. and without the proper power you wont be seeing all the power from the amp that it's rated at. and don't even think of a cap without one, and even then you still won't really have much need for it. |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 240 Registered: Feb-06 | heres a couple sites http://www.ohiogen.com/ http://www.excessiveamperage.com/ contact them and they'll get you a price. imo you don't really need a cap. you can after you get the ho alt. if you want, but there's no real need to, wont improve your system dramaticlly. |

Bronze Member Username: ZepcoeTN Us Post Number: 70 Registered: Apr-06 | "you can after you get the ho alt." you can what? put a cap in? |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 241 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah. put a cap in only after you get a ho alt., if you want one. you'll probably find you don't want/need one though. |

Bronze Member Username: ZepcoeTN Us Post Number: 71 Registered: Apr-06 | if i dont have a ho alt.right now keep the cap or no? |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 242 Registered: Feb-06 | no. putting a cap on only drains the alt. even more and it will die quicker. if you really want one wait until after the ho alt. is put on. |

Bronze Member Username: ZepcoeTN Us Post Number: 72 Registered: Apr-06 | So take my capasiter off tomarrow? and not have one? and what if i end up not getting a ho alt. will my system still run good without cap? |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 244 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah it'll run perfectly fine without a cap. listen to your system before you take the cap off, then after taking it off listen to it again, same song, same volume, and i bet you wont't see much of a difference, if any. the advantage of a cap is barely noticable and most people don't even buy one. |
