...would the capacitor do? what does a capacitor do ? i have 1200 kenwood sub hooked up with a 1200 tnt amp..what would the capacitor do?
 
waste your money....haha
capacitors are like big batterys. they charge from your car battery so when your system hits really hard it takes all the power from the capacitor not affecting the battery under the hood.. that means at night ur lights wont dim like u see alot...sounds nice huh?
lets put it this way the battery under the hood has 100 power.
ur capacitor has 100 power.
when ur subs hit hard well say it takes 20 power.
but before it can charge up to 100 again the subs hit for another 20.
so pretty soon ur capacitor has no power and is drawing energy straight from the battery under the hood.
catch me?
so the reason people dont like capacitors is cus they mite do their job for bout 20 minutes then its back to lights dimming and power coming from the battery....
so dont waste your money on a capacitor.
look into dry cell batteries if thats what u want.
kinetik 600 watt is equal to about 100 capacitors. and costs around 150
1 capacitor costs around 50$. so u decide
 
when your sub hits a really low note you battery often doesn't have as much juice as your amp wants, a capacitor stores electricity and then unloads on a big boom
 
the guy above is right. i talked to 3 guys who were trained directly by pioneer and they say capacitors hurt your battery more than anything.
if you want just get a yellow top optima D34 or D31 (I use the D31)
