Get the biggest and most expensive one they have. It's only money.

Tip: search by clicking Search and enter the word you want to find info for.

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

Use the search tool, but just incase you don't you do realise in no way will i help dimming lights or shortage of power, infact it will make it worse. All quallity amps alreaedy have them built in.

I wish I had a dollar for every cap that gets sold, then tossed away. Just say no to caps.
