One shop was supposed to put my deadning on for me, they had my truck for 8 hours. I went to pick it up, and they didnt even touch it!!! I was pissed, so I started arguing with the owner/manager, finally i said f-u im never coming here again. So to try and make me feel better he tried to practically give me a cap, I laughed in his face and drove off......so, i wouldnt even let em give it to me.....

LOL.

I think your main concern isn't the cap, it's the fact that your running 2 audiobahn 12's and an alpine 10" [sm=smiley29.gif]

My advice would be sell everything you have and start over....because i garuntee you will HATE the way your "system" sounds...i'm not trying to be negative i'm just trying to help you out.

If you're dead set about using a cap to stop your lights from dimming... You'd better wire it up to your lights...

Well a lot of these cars I see at competitions have capacitors and their systems are by no means cheapo nor do I think the guys running the system are ignorant when it comes to designing a setup. So why are they using them? Has this forum got so saturated from one person saying that caps suck so everyone says that now? I am not arguing the point, I just want logical facts that prove its bad...not opinions such as "they will ruin your electrical system" I would consider that a pretty broad statement and doesn’t give me a good idea why a cap is bad.

caps can help with minor light dimming., but if your voltage is dropping from 14's into the 12's, a cap cannot make up that difference.

So for a person like me whole has minimul light dimming then a cap would probably be recommended?
