Lighting Audio or any brands will do his Google advice was a good one. http://tinyurl.com/hrun http://tinyurl.com/hrur The general consensus here is that they are a waste of money and come up here as a topic twice a day starting long threads and debates. I use 2 farads anyways :-) I just ran a Google search using the term capacitor for this group only and it goes all the way back to 1993!

If there is nothing wrong with your system then dont fix it. If your wanting one because thats what people buy then dont get one. If you think it will improve your bass dramatically then dont get one, Headlight dimming? Ask Mark he can tell you how to fix that cheaply and quickly. The point is a cap does not really do what the manufacture and CC RoadShop guys say they do. It is Usually a bandaid to a bigger problem. Les |

The reason I want one is because we are putting in a ppi 2600 on my subs
saturday and my friend who sold me the amp and is doing the installs in my car while I learn said that without it his dodge neon running that amp and two other amps (I will also be running a jl 300/4) was having the headlights dimmed badly and even slowing down the engine till he got a cap - unfotunately the he can't sell me the one his was running as it was destroyed when hisjl's were stolen outside a club in southeast- at any rate our systems are similiar and I was going on his advice and that of his guy at myer emco since I'm new to all this car stuff- It's a hell of alot to take in and so much more work to make audio quality and stability than home stereo which I've always done. thanx for all the help "Soundfreak03" wrote in message ...

I read once they (caps) all come out of 1 of 3 different factories and then Brands put their own labels on them. Not sure if it's true or not. Electronically a generic would work just as well as a Phoenix Gold for instance but if you are asking me where to buy a generic I honestly don't know. My opinion on the issue is that it's your car your stereo if you want one and can afford it get one it can't hurt. Everyone told me not to get one and I got two :-) I think they add to the looks of a clean install if anything. L8tr! ~«©¿©»~ http://home.comcast.net/~wegetourmai...ome.html-.html No. Try not.

The cap was likely a bandaid to a bigger problem. I would drive with your setup for a while and see what, if any, problems you have. If it is merely headlight dimming then get in touch with Mark Z and he can tell you how to fix that, I dont remember the numbers on those caps. IF there are more serious issues then a better solution is always better battery or bigger alternator of heck even both. But either way do a google search and youll have plenty of reading to do.
