installed my 1.2 farad cap today, man, i was told the difference wouldn't be noticeable and that it wasn't needed for only a 400watt amp, but it was given to me for free and has been sitting in the back of my car for months now, finally got around to hooking it up...and let me tell ya, there is a difference, not huge but there is one, much crisper sound and a more defined hit, the power drain isn't sucking the power from the component speakers any more either so they play a bit louder. just need to get some thicker gauge wire and my dual 12" enclosure and bigger amp, then i think I'll be set till its time to go custom box.

 

If you listen to music with a lot of bass you will notice a difference and depending on how old your battery is, the older it is the better the sound with a cap because it can build up a charge and provides a consistent flow of electricity. It will also save you from having to replace your battery and alternator as often, or sooner than you should especially if you listen to your stuff loud all the time.

Enjoy!!

 

i have the stock battery that came with my car in 2006.5 ... so yea...lol im going to invest in a dry cell yellow top later on, when i can afford it

 

I just had to replace mine in December, with the cold the car could not start any more I have almost 60k miles so it was time for a new one anyway.

 

i'm still rockin' the stock battery from the end of 2004 & i have abused this battery w/ all kinds of monster amps & still kickin it - i do need a gel cell myself 'cause i can't believe i have gone this long w/o one

 

I don’t man you always needing a jump start lol

 

ha ha, ya that one time i needed a jump but i think that was something else ha ha

 

The Cap in my Dad's Yaris helps a TON with his subs in the back... I hate light dimming and such.
