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?
Heres what I am running. Component 6 1/2 type Alpine R fronts Coaxial 6 1/2 type R Alpine R rears MTX MXA-6004 Amp (75W RMS X 4 Chan) Kenwood KAC-729S (600W Max 200W Rms bridged) Rockford 12" Subwoofer Only got 1 battery. Oh yeah, i heard not having a capcitor dims your headlights... I got Euro Eyes HID lights. YES YES I KNOW... Thats a good system i got... Besides the sub, I was broke when I bought it |

Capacitors do sweet fk all. Don't bother wasting your money, spend the money on a monoblock for your sub, and/or decent deep cycle battery instead.
They are *supposed* to provide power on big bass hits, which make your headlights dim. But a monoblock amp will already prevent that, and getting a decent battery which can cope with the power drain will do more. Also, capacitors have (in what I have seen and heard) actually created less power - a few guys who do SPL comps swear not to use capacitors as it causes them to lose precious dB ![]() -------------------- www.tangcla.com - photography
