Baydestrian Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 They certainly can't help . Looking at how much power you're running, it wouldn't seem like you should be having too bad of issues. I would try to clean the ground at the leasst and make sure any rust and paint is removed. I had a shop do the install, they do do clean work but I they always seem to ground my amp to one of the braces behind the backseat. They did this in my Caprice too. I dont have any issues of the system cutting out, just lights dimming on punchy bass.

jakobebassbudds Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 "just use more capacitors and u wont have any problems" ............ i was honestly told this by someone awhile ago when i first got into audio and had voltage drop with a capacitor because it was two 12s and a 1k amp and i just stuck a capacitor in play and still had voltage drop and i was giving a demo and the dude saw my lights dim and asked if i had a cap and i said yeah and he said "just use more capacitors and u wont have any problems " and i said no i hust need a battery but dont have the cash and he thought i was stupid thought id share that story.. anyways caps can b useful in certain situations and are cheaper than a descent battery , but battery's are the way to go and yes there are some good caps but real expensive .

BassJunkie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I love some of the peoples answers on here... Not just this thread, but in general... So full of fail... You know deep down inside you want a capacitor...one of those scorsche ones with the pretty led's and built battery meter.

jmilch Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I just started a thread about this a few days ago and installed a cap into my existing system. But I have pretty sufficient electrical. It did help with a minor light fade I had occasionally, but the cap was free Quote Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD | Hertz 6.5 | Alpine Type R 6x9 | Custom 200A Alt | Knu Flek 1/0 Big 3 and all wiring | Eclipse EA3422 | AudioQue 2200d | DC XL 12 | Red Oak Box ~2.8 cubes @ 30 hz | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
