capacitor

With everyone's professional knowledge, what capacitor would you all recommend for me to use? Current equipment: Valor ITS-702W Multimedia Unit Two sets of component speakers - Alpine Type R SPR-17LS Two 12" subs - Alpine Type R 1000 watt total Alpine MRP-F450 Amp (speakers) Alpine MRD-M1005 Amp (subs) Future equipment: Two or more additional monitors I suppose a video amp would be needed with that Playstation 2/Xbox 360 And whatever other creative things I can add to my sound/video

None. A cap won't make any power at all... If adding more accessories, the ONLY thing you can do is upgrade your alternator.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."

oh okay, so what would the point be of the cap at all?

It's a pretty, shiny red can, and you can then say "Well, I have one, do you?" Pretty much, that's about all!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."

Add a battery or two first, then an alternator. Caps are junk.Collyn Eastham

NO!   there is only one thing that makes power in your car.   It is not batteries, it is not caps, it is the alternator alone! If you want to recieve more power from your electrical charging system, you need to start at the begining and upgrade the alternator2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

is not not good to have some reserve power though??

Don't waste your money on a C(r)ap. No matter who makes it, what color it is or how many flashing lights it has on it.

Sure is.  If your system requires 200 amps, a 250 amp alt offers good reserve capacity.

Caps make good alt. whine filters though.There is no such thing as free installation!
