Default Mechanic blames amplifier for alternator failing?? Help>>>>>>>>>>>

Actually, the supercapacitors he linked to would be fine for mobile
use. One of the "small" ones was 10F and weighs about a
quarter-ounce. None of them were really suitable for car use, because
they either couldn't handle the voltage, or they weighed too much, but
as long as your power requirements are less than 5.0V, there were a
lot of tiny ones that would be suitable.

Do these handheld mobile transmitters use beltpacks to house these 1- 5 farad
capacitors lol?

Even handheld mobile transmitters use capacitors of 1F to 5F. Putting a
few F on a high powered audio amp is like waxing your car to make it go
faster.
