Is a cap worth it ?

Is purchasing a cap worth it ? I was always under the impression that a cap was only needed if ur lights dimmed on big hits or if your amp wasnt puttin out enough rms for the subs ? Sorry i'm newbish in the cap area.

an amp is just a cheap workaround to the fact that your electrical system is not up to the task of powering your stereo setup..

if you are having power delivery issues and have got the correct cabling and the power just isnt there, put the money towards a bigger amp and alternator, it will be better spent than going towards a cap

a cap can sometimes help, depending on how bad your problem is, if its minor as in just lights dimming then yeah a cap would be good. if its more than minor a cap will not eliminate the problem.

do you even have any issues with your stereo? if it goes fine and ru car goes fine, dont worry about one ;)

If you are running some serious equipment, then a cap will always help. Rockford Fosgate has some new BIG caps out that are pretty nice for the money. 50+Farads.

Also check out batcaps by X-static. I have only heard good things about them.
