i dont understand i have looked at the forum about caps and dont get it. why are they so bad? i mean some say they're bad and others who have them say they work wonders for them. they have to do something or they wouldn't be selling or in so many peoples cars right? my last system i had one really good twelve and the comp set. it was custom done by a local shop they put noen in the trunk the whole works. they also used a cap. i mean my lights never dimmed, no problem with the alt. ironically they alt went out about 6 mths after i took the system out. dont get me wrong not pleading a case either way you just got to understand that i posted the question to learn and have people pulling me 2 different directions. my alt is 90 amps the majority says should be find only about 9 mths old. final question is there any benefit to having a cap? yes no and why please.thanks guys.

Without a HO alt a cap will put more strain on your electrical system...Do the big three and see if you need a HO alt.

hahaha

If this is not the last install you will be doing. Buy the Car audio DVD from www.caraudiohelp.com

I'd even work towards your MECP, not for bragging or promo rights, but for the knowledge learned along the journey of trying to get it.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.
