I was going to get a 1.0 Lightning Audio Farad cap soon because my lights dim real bad when my bass hits and i def. dont want to destroy my alternator..anyway toe point of this topic is..has anyone got one..any ideas? i was going to deal with crutchfield.com because their customer service i think is the best.

how hard is to hook one of these things up? And do i need to get a new alternator if i get a cap..i was under the impression you did after reading another thread in here somewhere

(if this has been topic'ed before my bad, i searched but got no result)

I bought 2 2.0 Farrad caps for my set-up in a previous car, but was runing 2 1800 Amps for two competition subs, basically for every 300-500 watts of power you need .5 of a farrad, the trick is to meet this requirement and will help..

I get a lot of my stuff from caraudiosecurity.com, although im in the UK so might be easier for me..

Dont forget you can run caps in parallel, not in series, to get them working together and pulling off both..

Alternatively if they was draining that much try a yellow top optima battery or the likes in addition to your one in place.. it depends on how far your going to take you ICE for the investment wink.gif
