I think the guess was that it was an overvoltage condition or just a
faulty
cap.




I have just two 75W subs in my car and don't really need a capactor but
would it be a good idea to get one anyway to help take some of the load
off
of the car electrical system?

A capacitor won't really take the load off the electrical system. Buying
a
fresh battery would probably do more to take the load off the alternator
than the addition of a capacitor.



The car is a 2004 Chevy Malibu Classic, by fresh do you mean a bigger
battery with more cold cranking amps? Or just a newer battery, I am saving
to get some nice audiobahn 800 Watt 12s at circuit city would I need a cap
by then or is it just something you dont buy unless you NEED it?
