I have read that my headlights could dim if the system is too powerful? To avoid any risk of power sap,Fit a 0.5 fared capacitor to the positive line feeding from the battery to the amp. It provides a resivour of power So the amp takes power from the resivour but th3 battery fills the resivour at its own normal pace, Resulting in no strain atall ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serbusfish Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 I was reading about caps, some people saying they dont really help at all? Besides I can only see caps that are rated at 1.0 farad not 0.5. I guess I could setup the gear then if I have dimming light problems install a cap?

The ones on eBay are fake and drain your battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
