CommonSyns Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 After reading through snafus thread of capacitors I have decided to get 2 Caps because I will not be getting my HO alt anytime soon. There was really REALLY good pros and cons as to why or to why not to put a cap in your vehicle. I however have decided to get 2 of them and see how good my system does without a cap. Once I get my HO alt in I will see if it still makes a difference with the caps in or out. I will be a guinea pig to see if caps help... If I have to I'll test them. The 2 caps are Tsunami HCAP-10 10 Farad High Performance Digital Hybrid Capacitor. One cap will be going to each subwoofer amp.

CommonSyns Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm actually seeing if its possible to get a deal from sonicelectronics but I doubt that. Grand total with 2 day shipping is 337.22 that is for 2 of them.

CommonSyns Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 When I read though the thread there were some pros but there was also cons...alot more cons...but I want to see for myself on my own system. **EDIT** As I continued to read through the threads that this site offers I have come to find that no setup is the same, there are different variables and every ones system is different even if they have the same exact subs and amps. The vehicles are different, there are different harmonics in different cars. I just want to test if the they would help in my system.

AmmoJammo Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 $340 would buy you a pretty decent second battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSyns Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I already have 2 9A34M's and a battery up front on the way. I just have a stock alternator for the time being until I move down to TN.

CommonSyns Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I will. I'm not hoping for much from the 2 caps but who knows it could do something for me. Or it would over tax my alternator and kill it. All I've heard is that caps can stress the alternator.
