Really ads punch to my 2x 10" subs and 4 mids. I estimate 1500 w nominal. No more dimming headlights or dancing volt guage.

Looks cool too. Get a lot of people asking about it. Can't beat the price either.

The capacitor does its job when running 1600 watts. No light dimming, but the battery needle does move if the AC and amp are running at the same time. Overall it is a great buy and the led lights look good.

Hooked this up two my two 12 inch Kickers and a 3000 watt amp. Doesn't have the best design but works just as it should. Used some o-rings I got at the auto store to attach some 4 gauge wire. Worked like a charm.

Have it wired w/4 gauge wire & it gives enough juice to both my amps head lights don't blink & the blue LEDs make my set up look great. If u need a 3 farad cap buy this one.

Just installed a few days ago and immediately noticed a difference in sound quality and no lights dimming using 1000w RMS. My only problem was the wire terminal bolts are too short if using heavy duty ring terminals. The bolts only have about 1/2" of threads which left me with about 3/16" of thread to tighten them to the Cap. Found some 10mm bolts about 3/4" long that worked perfectly. Charging was very easy using the supplied resistor and alligator clip leads. The LED's turn off also after awhile if it doesn't sense any voltage changes.

Ring Terminals
Use these ring terminals to connect the power and ground cable to the capacitor. The more surface area the ring terminal has to the capacitor's terminal, the better the connection will be.
