Well, I've been reading everyones post about their audio and stuff and I wanted to know what exactly does a capacitor do and is it neccessary?

i dont know what kind of systems they have but I have ALWAYS had capacitors...they save you alot of trouble and dimming. although they are right in what purpose the cap actually serves, I wouldnt go without one EXCEPT in your case...if your not pushin more than 1000 watts, i wouldnt worry about it. Here's what i have.
2 Rockford Fosgate Stage 3 12" Punch's 2 Rockford Fosgate 1000 Watt Punch Amps. Rockford Fosgate Power, and ground wires. Sony component Speakers and a Panasonic Head Unit. Im pushin over 1,500 watts and i have a 1 farad Memphis Capacitor. And it provides more than enough "Extra Power" for the Harder hittin bass. Oh and by the way...You went Rockford...im proud of ya!! --------------------  Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |
