Bad quality, pain to hook up and charge. Randomly turns off and won't come back on for hours, some times days. Spend the money to get a good name brand. It will be well worth it instead of buying this. Doesn't do anything for my system. With my 1200w amp turned less then half way up and my sub turned half way up my head lights still flicker and my dash lights dim every time it hits. Don't buy this cap unless you want to be disappointed.

This cap is great for anyone that's interested in blue lights. I put the cap with two kicker cvx and my voltage still dropped Extremly low. But the bass from the subs was much tighter and cleaner. I liked the sound it helped my amp create but if your looking for a voltage solution buy a deep cycle battery. Or a huge alternator. I'm going with alternator for my install. They both run about the same but alternators tend to last longer in my opinion.

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.

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.
