What is a good Capacitor? I am wanting not to expensive, but quality. I will be running around 2000 watts. I have been thinking about Stinger, and Monster, any other ideas? what is the best bang for the buck? Thanks!

Just remember when it comes to electronics , usually you get what you pay for. Ok that being said , just about every manufactor is making thier own caps these days , Audiobahn , RF , Planet Audio , Sound Lab , Pheonix Gold , ect. ect.  Also remember for every 1000w of power you use , you should have at least a 1 farad cap. so in your case , you might need 2 one farad caps. I dont think Ive seen a single 2 farad cap before but maybe someone else has.

Stinger is probably the best when it comes to caps and accessories.  But you will pay out the ying=yang for a 2 farad cap.. If you are not looking for looks and are going for performance you can not beat a BATCAP They are like having a 100 farad cap that not only stores energy but creates it, I have used them in a couple of Mega Watt set ups try www.batcap.com check it out they are not pretty but just hide it and know you are getting the best bang for your buck.

"Stingpro" .....I just did a quick look-through on a google search, and I know enough about that POS already to say stay away from that worthless junk.  Crap with a rip-off name.  If you see a capacitor that no respectable retailer will carry, but can be found for "unbelievable low prices" at an assortment of no-name web sites, stay away.  Rushman said it. "You get what you pay for"

http://getsounds.com/capacitors/capacitors_2a.html .....for  example....

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

My fault www.batcap.net   the 400 is the one I used on two differt occasions I had to pay full MSRP and it was only $200  But you have to hook them up per their instructions ( directly to the battery ) but they worked perfectly. I am actually trying to become a dealer..

I must have misread... somewhere I thought it said StingPro, was a brand made my Stinger, Stinger is what I want, but the price isn't what I want to pay, you know how it is. I know, in most things you get what you pay for, but if I can kind a hell of a deal on one, I would buy it. What I will be running is a Eclipse Titanium with a Memphis Mojo amp, which will be running 2 ohm's at 2000 watts. which I would need a 2 farad cap, any ideas on a good one? I mean I have looked at Rockfords', Stingers', Audiobahns', and brands along those, is the digital read out, a really good thing and worth the extra money? It anyone has any ideas or has any caps for sale, please let me know! Thanks!

most caps are made by the same few manufacturers  they just put different labels on them. you can get a 1 ferad cap at wally world for $75. battcaps are great i use the 400amp batt cap, but it's not the cure all people think they are. you have to have a good high output alt. a cap or battcap is just iceing on the cake.
