Any capacitor in any car power system will charge up to whatever voltage is being supplied by the alternator. No more, no less. Many car audio caps are rated for 24 volts, some for 40 or 50 volts. It simply indicates the maximum charge potential for that capacitor, and you want a cap to be rated at no less than 16 volts - if you really need one.

In looking at the website for an AGM battery I noticed that it appears the stereo sound competitors are using 17.7v power systems to run the equipment.. can anyone verify this?
