if you want one, check the farad rating of the capacitor. the more wattage you are running the higher capacitor rating you need.

searching will also get you more information.

You do not need capacitors. The only time you'll ever need a capacitor is if you are into SPL competition and you need that extra little bit of power.

Are your lights dimming when the bass hits hard? THe first step you should do is upgrade your
BIG 3

If you do still have dimming after that then you would want to look into replacing your alternator with a High output Alternator and look into a Deep Cycle battery such as an Optima Yellowtop or a Stinger Battery.

You may want to know how those words are spelled too, it may be on the test.

Cool

cam2Xrunner - ditto, the big 3 are all he needs. Upgrade the alt before buying a cap...
If you are hell bent on buying a capacitor, buy a really huge ass one (like 20 farads) off ebay. Hell they're laffably cheap at this point compaired to retail prices!
