This video shows how we installed a capacitor on our amplifier, how much amplifier capacitor you need what not to do with a capacitor. The sparks are real, and if you don’t be careful installing a capacitor on an amplifier in your vehicle, you can get really hurt!
Putting a capacitor in your car is a no-brainer if you have high amperage amps that need a lot of power quickly. The C rate, even of large capacity batteries is very low, and he the bass goes up, the power output for them deep lows may not be there. You could put in another battery to spread the load and double your C rate, but the cost would be higher and Capacitor will last a long time, probably longer than your car.
Benefits Of Capacitor:
- More stable current to the audio amplifier
- Help with hard-hitting bass Help amplifier run more efficient
- Reduce load on the battery from surges of power
- Reduce headlight dimming
- Cleaner audio to speakers improving life
Capacitor Will Not Help:
- Fix a battery the needs to be replaced
- Overcome a poor car charging system
- Make your audio louder
