This Rockford Fosgate capacitor is a must have if you are into custom stereo equipment ,there are only pros except for having to buy it that's the only con and even the price was great so that's not too bad !! There's a digital reading that shows your amps which allows you to know when your battery is getting low or if your alternator is about to crash , I had a system with 750 watts rms prior to buying this cap and after installing it i could turn it up loader without my battery being drained and the headlights dimming !!!!! Like I said A MUST HAVE!!!!!!

I would strongly recommend this product for anyone needing this particular piece of equipment. It arrived as it was advertised, and has been working great since I installed it. It's a great choice!

This works like a champ! I have this hooked up to a HiFonics 1200 Brutus amp, pushing 2 Rockford Fosgate 12 inch P1's. No light dimming at all. No lacking in amp power ever! Didn't have to upgrade my alternator or battery with this bad boy. And it lights up blue to match my amp lights. Buy this product. Nothing but good things.

I like to tell people alternator alternator alternator. In my case it's two stock 130 amp 3G alts. 2 mb quart reference amps strapped putting out 1600 watts rms. and I have 2 70x4 amps playing active biamped jl c5 components. I didn't have a problem with low voltage when I cranked my stereo I had a problem with the lights dimming when the bass would hit and the quick spike would come and go making my voltage gauge dance, and my lights would flutter. With the addition of two capacitors the voltage is much more stable. The amps take the power stored in the caps when it hits and the feed of power progressively rolls back in to charge the caps acting like a buffer. If your charging system can't keep up In the first place a cap will not help you.

What can I say, this large beast (Don't be fooled by the battery appearance, it's about the same size as my biceps!) has done me well. Never skips a beat, sound is always crisp, clear and precise.
Features: It is a capacitor, has a little LED thing that shows voltage. Comes with capacitor installation kit so you don't turn your fuse box into the 4th of July.

Personally I never had a thing for capacitors. Unfortunatly due to a low budget, I couldn`t afford the "big three" or even a new alt... but Rockford does exactly what it`s supposed to do. The sound quality of my Type R is way better than it was. Completely cancelled out all the dimming too! I think people get the wrong impression about the capacitors... by no means should it make your sub louder. It's not a miracle machine its honestly a cheaper solution to fixing the issues that our unnecessary and booming systems throw at us! Not every one has the money to buy a beefy alternator or top of the line battery. Any way, like I said.. it does what it's supposed to and i highly recommend this product. Looks sweet too!

First off it does what it says and is a very solid cap kept my voltage steady and did improve on my bass sound quality the led voltmeter is also very nice. Its easy to install and will fit 0 gauge wire I charged it with a 12v car lightbult like the ones from the taillights.
Overall I would recommended this for small sound systems and to make your setup look better.

I've sat in my car for almost 2 hours before with the car off, just blaring my system, and my battery was just fine. My lights don't dim when it hits and I'm pushing 3,000 watts into 2 JL's. This rocks, 5 of 5.

Works great and I love it. The only thing I did not realize is the digital readout never turns off regardless if you vehicle is on or off, so at night you can see a blue light coming from within the inside of my truck and its pretty bright. The only reason I do not like this is I have had my truck broken into and robbed, so I do not like the blue light attracting the unnecessary attention, but when I'm in sketchy places i just throw a shirt or jacket over the capacitor to block the light.

I just got my system installed about 2 weeks ago and this really helps a lot. It maintains the cars voltage and keeps my 2 12" p3 subs going full tilt. Excellent buy.

This cap is truly one of the best. Built very solid, never had a problem of any kind with it. It is a little pricey, i think, for a 1 F. But if you want the best, and your system isn't too massive, go with this one.

i have a mrp-m500 powering a 12" type r and im having less dimming and a slight difference of louder bass. if your pushing less than 1000 rms id recommend it. before when i didnt have this cap my headlights and lights on the dash would dim ALOT. now my electrical system for my car runs smooth, my speedometer is brighter and my headlights. but my headlight do dim just a little. btw im running with a stock batt. alt. and no big 3.

This capacitor is a must have for any system! I'm running two amps off of it actually for ~700 watts RMS and I haven't had any problems. It's hooked in parallel with my system, connected to my distribution block and grounded to the frame. I didn't use the charger to charge it as it said. I just let it charge itself when I connected the battery back up. Just be careful, that's a lot of juice stored up!

This is a must have piece of equipment for every stereo system that has an amplifier!!!! I always had an issue with my electrical system, until now. Now I have no issues at all in fact I my headlights dont dim and it feels like my bass has a harder hit to it, and I thank sonic for that !!!!

I have my kenwood amp pushing out 500 watts bridged mono and i use to dim my headlights and neons like no other. Since i installed this cap, my lights don't dim, i get more bass, and i get too many complements on how my set up looks with it next to my amp. The install was easy, painless, and charging it up was nothing. all in all, this cap is the cap you want.
