lem43606 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 ok another question is my capacitor really needed some say yes others say no if no could i get a answer y no it isnt needed. if you have a bigger AGM battery and the big 3 done.. lose the capacitor.. the reason they are bad for your electrical system is they work off a push pull charging system meaning they charge up and drain in a matter of seconds which makes your alternator work even harder.. as the battery it charges in differnt cells holding the overall charge longer Quote 2 Fi BTL N2 18s Fully LoadedSundown Audio NS-1Kenwood 845 HU Clarion EQ4 Juicebox 3100sKnu Wire"Big 3"Mechman 270a156.3dBTeam GG.

Sanitarium Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 yes the one that runs back to the battery, you dont NEED to fuse but a lot of people like to fuse that line. Fuse between any potential power source and any potential ground out point. People who don't fuse that line are like people driving around without insurance >> tarded.
