Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 463 Registered: Mar-06 | Yes guys i know capacitors are pretty much useless.....BUT I forget where, but i remember someone saying theyre useless unless you have a rediculous amount of wattage and a HO alt. If you have high wattage and a HO alt, are they actually helpful in some cases OORRRR are they just generally useless silver tubes with cool blue neon ahha all the time |

Post Number: 2270 Registered: Mar-06 | The only way the cap really helps IMO is when it is punchy bass that you are listening to and you have a HO alt. and your system doesnt pull WAY over the max capacity of the alt for the punchy bass lines... so in between the bass the voltage on the HO goes back up and the cap charges and realeases the voltage into the sub for each punch... if it was a long bass line it is basically useless because the alt isnt holding the normal voltage it tops out at.. IMO.. the cap only holds the top voltage it is getting feed, once it drops and the extra voltage from the cap has been pulled... the cap doesnt help until your alt gets back up to a higher voltage to give back to your cap... |

Post Number: 2276 Registered: Mar-06 | To bad they cant make a cap that holds the desired voltage that you want.... and turns the amps into voltage if needed... i dunno if thats possible but that would be sweet... no more Voltage drops  lol but then if your voltage is droping in the first place your probbaly not able to push many more amps to compensate for the drop if it was even possible... |
