sounds like not only could u use a better alternator and charge system upgrades... get yourself a kinetik hc1400 or better.. and like the other guy said... ditch the cap....

caps can charge and discharge quickly but when u are pullin the kind of current that a high current amp can your charging system perceives this like just another amp that it has to keep up with...

powercells like kinetiks and optima have more amperage STORAGE CAPACITY.. they can't charge as fast as a capacitor.. but that is where a HO alternator comes into play....

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT U HAVE.... BE IT CAPS OR BATTERIES... if your charging system can't keep up it will all be in vain.....

there can be only one.......

Because uninformed people don't know or understand the function of them... And because they are a HELL of a marketing gimmick with REALLY nice profit margin!

And you could have the "Super-Mega-Ultra-Big-Boy" 1 Million Giga Farad Cap from AudioMaxFordKenSony, and you STILL basically put a band-aid on a bullet wound. It doesn't matter WHAT cap you have, it does you no good unless you already have the charging system to run EVERYTHING effectively, to start!

Your electrical system in it's present state CANNOT run what you have effectively. Period. End of story.

:::::EDIT:::::

And please stop opening new threads... You have three going right now, and while TECHNICALLY asking different questions, they are all regarding the same installation. One install, one thread.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
