Description

The main reason a capacitor is always recommend, is for power reserve. The capacitor stores energy and releases it very quickly to the amplifier(s). How does this help? It’s very simple: 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 a constant amount of 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.

  • Good for the money
I bought this for my new Infinity amp and subwoofer. If you’re getting this because you are having electrical issues in your vehicle, check your Big 3 first( battery, alternator, power and ground wiring). A capacitor is for power regulation to ensure the amp gets adequate juice to not distort. For the money this is a good capacitor and performs well with my setup ... show more

  • Works great!!
Its been pushing 2 amps, 3000watts amp and a 500watts 4 channel amp just perfectly at 14v this whole time. Turns off 1 minute after engine off and its well worth it for a great price too.

  • Let's see what this bad boy can do
As of now I cannot say what I dislike about this product. I just ordered it. I have amateur radio training and have worked with capacitors a lot! I think a lot of the negatives on here are from people not hooking these up right because not only in theory but in fact they do work. Not as much as a battery in your trunk but they do work! Charging them is the secret. And also knowing how to discharge them properly! Most of the time if you have problems with these a simple discharge will fix the problem. I have one ohm 12-in Skat Audio sub coming in tomorrow and enclosure. Will definitely update tomorrow. They may not be as good as a battery in your trunk. But they do help when properly installed. You can also look up the amplifier I'm using. Directed D.2400. True 1500 w RMS amplifier stable at 1 ohm. Update!! After changing properly. Found out my amp was broke. So. I used my 800 RMS class d Cadence. Cap hasn't dropped under 14 v. Awesome ... show more

  • Comes with mounting gear.
First time purchasing plant audio equipment. So far good directions easy to understand and follow. Charged properly, I like the mounting hardware it comes with really makes sure its not in the back rolling around all willy nilly

  • Works well on my 2000 watt RMS system
Running 2 12s my voltage is sitting around 13. 7 low 13s when whammin. Works great not a fan how the blue LED light turns on every time the voltage fluctuates though. Looks like the police are behind me every time I'm looking in my rearview mirror lol
