I'm looking for a capacitor rated at at least 20/24 volt surge, with a good price. Any personal suggestions?

Thus far, I've looked into:

KnuKonceptz' capacitor

Audiobahn Triangle Capacitors

Audiobahn Chrome Cylinder Capacitors

MA Audio Capacitors

I will need at least 2 farads, so they need to either be buss-able, or be a 2+ farad cap.

While on the topic, are digital displays truely necessary, or just a waste of battery power?

digital displays are just for show and I think they even increase your ESR rating.

cap is a cap, right?

If they are buy the cheapest. I dunno the chemicals used in a cap, or if a company has there own formula for them.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

A capicitor is a quick discharge battery. They have a di-electric plate running through the middle of them. When a charge reaches a certain magnitude, it jumps across the plates. Basically thats how it works. Different companies and different styles of capacitors call for different formulas to the materials they use in them.

Shop for a cap with a low ESR rating...don't just go for the cheapest cap.
