I heard that the car battery cannot supply current at a fast enough rate

At what power ratings should one start to worry about this?


When the current is high enough to worry, you're in need of more storage
than the usual 1 to 3 F cap. Car audio stiffening caps are mostly a
gimmick.


explain who there a gimmick, if you need a big boost of volts for a bass
note you'll need the cap then the batt. will never get the power down the
line quickly enough.
