When is a capacitator needed?

[.tony. .riot.]

And what is exactly the use of these?

[Phi]

When you want points from a judge for asthetics

What the hell is a capacitator?

It sounds like something you use at a hospital.

A high farad cap is useful after you've upgraded your battery/alt and wiring and still receive some issues. If you're asking this question, you don't need one.

If your lights dim when your subwoofer makes a hard hit, then your amp is drawing too much power from your alt/battery. A cap stays charged so when the amp needs a ton of pwoer really quick, it draws it from the cap.

I was kind of asking for everyone's opinion, because different users have different opinions all the time here.

Never. Upgrade the big three wires with leftover amp wire.

It's not only a FREE electrical mod, but unlike a cap, it'll actually help a diming problem! If you still have any diming left, it's time for an alt upgrade.
