  • Just got my capacitor put in

    Well, I've been having problems with my battery voltage dropping when my bass hits REALLY bad when my car is at a stop, but not so bad with the RPMs up cause the alternator picked up the slack I'm guessing.
    Anyway.
    I got a 1.7 farad digital cap and let me tell you... WOW!!! NO VOLTAGE DROP AT ALL! My stereo sounds even BETTER and more crisp when I turn it up hella loud... damn it's like a Night and Day difference...

        does it prevent your headlights from dimming if you're stopped too?

          That's why I'm a firm believer in caps. A lot of ppl will say they are worthless. But that is their opinions. I just know I will always use on in my systems.

            That, headlights dimming is from sagging battery voltage... all common things [img]tongue.gif[/img]
