Description

A capacitor is a passive (a component that consumes but does not produce energy) two terminal electrical components. In building a sound system for your car, you would want to use a capacitor for a couple of different reasons. The main reason a capacitor is always recommended, is for power reserve. It stores energy and releases it very quickly to the amplifier(s). How does this help? Music is dynamic, no matter what type you listen to. The dynamics in musical content can vary from soft voices, and very quickly transition to thundering bass notes. These moments are where the benefit of having a capacitor is heard. The amplifier requires constant & steady power to function efficiently and power the speakers. A capacitor will keep the power going to the amplifier consistent and stabilized, which means a better sounding system. IMPORTANT: The remote output of the head unit is connected to the remote turn on of the capacitor. The capacitor will not function if the remote wire is not connected to your head unit.

    • Pretty neat, but be leary of the instructions on this page...
Style: 10 Farad
I like this cap. I like the look of it, too. It's a perfect fit for my application. It's packaged pretty well too. The one thing I don't care much about, but isn't about the product itself really, is the support. Yes, you can get what seems pretty good support, but it's through BOSS AUDIO. Planet Audio on all their products have sub-contracted out the support; which I am alright with that...but it's just something you wont really know until you buy something and have a question. One other tid-bit... If you have never used a cap, like me, MAKE sure you consult the instructions. They did provide them, but before I had really went through them or even taken this from the plastic casing to which it was tied down, I was curious how to charge it correctly. The way it's explained on this page, and shown in the picture is incorrect... they told me, and later when I read the instructions, you must have your (-) wire connected and grounded, and ONLY have your remote wire from the deck connected to the cap and nothing else... The explanation on here is showing only the (+) lead and inbetween the posy wire and they posy terminal of course is the resistor... this is incorrect according to the Tech Support/Instruction manual. As far as function, I've not had the chance to get it rolling. I have a few other components I'm waiting on, and when I get them all together and check everything out, I will revisit this review and post an update. Just becareful.. as always, if it has instructions, read them. Oh yea.. The CAP shown in this picture, is NOT the one you will get; IT looks identical to this one, with one exception; instead of two terminals on each side, the 10F Cap will have only one terminal on each side. The one shown here is the 20F model. ... show more

    • It don’t stop your dimming lights. It’s a power source that stores power
Style: 10 Farad
It handles power well. This item will not stop your lights from dimming. What it does is store power in it so the amp don’t take it straight from the battery. If you want the dimming to stop. You have to upgrade your alternator to battery wire a ground to chassis and engine to chassis only way to make it stop. I have a what looks to be a 10 gauge wire from my alternator to battery and that’s factory. That’s why you need to upgrade the wiring super easy ... show more

Style: 10 Farad
Headlights were dimming on my vehicle due to too much power from my amp/subs. Finally decided to get this when i noticed it was almost half off on $ale. Took me awhile before actually setting it up. Pretty simple. I just made it complicated then it seemed. Yes it did help tremendously. Hooking it up. ... show more

    • Voltage still dropping below 12vDC.
Style: 10 Farad
Have a Skar 1500 RMS amplifier that was bringing my voltage gauge down and dimming my lights. I did not test actual voltage but felt it was pulling way to hard on the alternator. I rebuilt the vehicles alternator (assuming that it is now putting out a full 140 amps) and tested the voltage without the radio, which was 14.2vDC. Install this capacitor and charged it up, which it didn't really charge according to the manual and only going to 7.7vDC (manual stated full charge), and then made the full hook up and full charge. The LED voltage on the capacitor indicates 14.2vDC without the subs hitting. BUT, by the LED readout and by my dash voltage, it still draws down slightly below 12vDC and the headlights still have a little dim to them. I feel (from my reading) this capacitor size should have been big enough to withstand the power pull from the amplifier so I am disappointed to still see the voltage drop this much. I guess I would have been satisfied seeing it drop from 14.2 to 12.6vDC. ... show more

    • Big improvement to overall sound(10F)
Style: 10 Farad
I was not sure weather to purchase a cap for my system. I read a lot online that they did nothing while many others said they did. I am also slightly tone deaf so I wasn't sure if I could tell even if it did make a difference. I just installed some very hi end/hi powered speakers (Hertz Millie) with a nice JL Audio 12" sub and a very nice Hertz 5 channel amp (D-class). I could have used about 30% more amp to drive this system. It still sounded AWESOME though (w/o the cap). For $60 I said WTH. Did some research and this one I liked bc of the reviews and the low profile for my tight spaces in my Tacoma. I had been listening to the system w/o the cap for several weeks so I what its range was. I added the cap and WOWSER!! BIG difference. Mostly in my mid bass speakers is where I heard(felt) the big difference. I think even the hi notes sounded clearer (but not sure about those bc I am literally semi tone deaf). It definitely made a difference in the slightly under powered system that I have. They do work for sure though. ... show more
