Capacitors Whats Best?

I'm in the process of looking for a cap for my car, and i think i've found out that stinger offers the best cap, but they are also the highest priced. I want to know what would be another good cap that might be a little cheaper. I want somthing that is over 1 F, right now i have a 2005 kennwood 1200.1 amp on order, and  i think i need something bigger than a 1F to help push it. Right now i have one amp running my 6x9 and my lights still dim. So if you have an ideas or anything i would greatly apprerciate it. I'm open to anything. Thanks

Upgrade the "big 3" wiring first. You might need to get a HO alternator. Scrap the idea for a cap. They are useless.'85 Toy

Do a search for capacitors and you will find literally hundereds of posts explaining why they are usless and a waste of money, and why you should get a HO alternator instead.

Can we get a sticky topic on power supply please?Nik

I agree i bought a 5 faraf cap from Power Acoustic and it really has done nothing for me. I am now buying a HO alternator. Dont waste the money on the cap ; invest in the alternator first.Eclipse 5435

I have a one farad cap and  It didnt really help light dimming but it provided a cleaner sound to my subs so I dont think it is completely useless but as far as supplying power enough to not let amp put a momentary load on  vehicles electrical system no it would not help.

cleaner sound to subs??? Please enlighten me.

Yes a cap can be used to filter the power flow to the amp. Thats the only good use for a cap. It won't however have that effect if you don't already have an alternator capable of suppling the power you need. A cap will not add power to your system no matter how much you pay for it.Nik
