    To answer your question...

    A conventional battery, as we all know, has a positive and negative terminal. The chemical reaction within creates a flow of electrons, causing an electronic device (in this case an amplifier) to work. The stiffening capacitor is similar to a battery in that it stores a charge. The fundamental difference is it cannot create electrons. It can only store and supply (discharge) them upon demand. The advantage with a capacitor is that it discharges in twenty thousandth of a second, unlike a battery that does in one second. The battery therefore cannot discharge fast enough to effectively supply the amplifier and this is the reason for “power sags.” WAKE UP! Don’t fall asleep just yet; we’re getting to the exciting part.

    The XSTATIC BATCAP is simply a battery that can discharge just as quickly as a capacitor. Therefore, you have a constant supply of electrons that will discharge at lightning speed! This puts less strain on your stock alternator and battery. It also recharges faster than a conventional battery since the internal resistance is low. How about the install? Well I’m sure you can find a place to put this 2.5 lb. baby and his 5 lb. big brother. Don’t let the size fool you though. These BATCAPS can crank start your car, and you can bet we put that to the test!

    The cost is another remarkable feature since the 300 model costs the same as a “High End” stiffening capacitor and the 400 model costs a little more. Remember, “good things come in small packages.” (I was going to say that “SIZE” doesn’t matter, but let’s not offend anyone now.) Oh, by the way, the fact that the BATCAP is capable of discharging in a RUSH over a 5-10 second period SCREAMS three letters, “SPL!”

    So are they good for low end systems like the one in my sig.??? I mean, I never used a cap until recently and never noticed the difference in my sound.

    Edit: Sorry OP, but I don't mean to thread hijack. I just wanted to respond to RamenNoodles post.

    You probably wont notice an audible different when using a cap, but they can help find tune your electrical. I dont recommend them to anyone no matter what the circumstances, but you would be fine running one for a little while with that system, granted you dont upgrade to something larger.

    Capacitors are for quick discharge to level out the spikes in the the bass. They are best used when you have minimal to zero voltage drop. They are useless when used "to make your headlights not dim" because that is not their purpose. Its a shame that caps have now become to one fix all voltage drop.

    A battery is for storing electrical power over a constant period of time, like when playing your system. Caps are virtually useless on higher end systems which is why you almost NEVER see people using them who know what they are doing.

  15. Need help establishing credit

    I dont know how your debit card is, but with mine I can use it as credit or debit, the only difference between the two, is by using the debit, it charges the account immediatly, but while using it as a credit card it just takes the culmination of the charges and takes the money from your account monthly, so as long as you have the funds in the bank at the end of the month to cover the charges, you can use your card as a credit card to build your credit, but like I said I dont know if you can do that in your situation.

    YOu still dont gain "credit" that way.

    Sign up for a Capital One credit card with like a $250 limit, and buy gas once a month. Pay it off as soon as you get the statement and dont be late.

    Dont use more then half of your allotted balance either. so dont spend more then $125.

  19. Girl help??

    I dont see what the question is. Why should she, who im assuming is a grown woman, need permission from you. She is her own person dude. If you cant trust her at a concert where can you trust her.

    You arent her keeper, I would be pissed if a girlfriend told me I couldnt go to a concert with a co-worker. Im assuming the co-worker is a guy and thats what you dont trust about it.

    Returning them because you were sure what your were buying at the beginning is a dick move. This is one of the major reasons prices become inflated and companies go out of business. Work with what you have now and port them. Never use a prefab box, they are general boxes not made specifically for the sub you have. They are meant to be able to be compatible with numerous subs in order to keep things cheap for the company making them and make them easier to stock etc.

  21. SPECIAL THANKS TO SECOND SKIN! (VIDEO INSIDE)

    Man, wish I was a member of Steve's forum earlier :P

    However, Second Skin, based off from the video, did one heck of a job promoting their product.

    I'm already @ their website figuring out how much square ft. of damplifiers I may need for my trunk!

    I was always limited to product like Dynamat, but they were highly expensive, and in my case, overpriced.

    However, thanks to Steve's YouTube video, I took an interest in Second Skin.

    Oh how I wish I was a member of this forum earlier, ARGH !!!!

    The promotion just ended a few days ago... You were already a member at the time the promotion was still going on.
