So I have ordered from SE twice and been happily surprised twice. Emails were answered within hours of sending them and the staff have always been very polite and helpful. Whatever you guys are doing, you are doing it right, don't change and I will definitely be a return customer!

Yes, it is an off brand product. I've had mine for 6 months and had no problems or issues with it. The light bar seems to do nothing other then flicker depending on slight voltage variation it goes wild.



30 farads in the size of two standard single cylinder capacitors? Yes. Works just as expected. You may be better off with a secondary or third or fourth battery, but unless you have 14.7-15 volt batteries then your voltage will drop to 12 then stay there. This will get you up to a stable 14.7 and stay there quite well, even if you run a 3800+ Watt rms amp



Running with: Lanzar Vbp 281 4200wpeak about 3850 rms if I remember correctly

Bought this for a 2100 watt RMS mono block power hungry AMP. This cap has not let me down in 7 months.

Excellent merchandise, I had the Boss CAP30 for a little bit now. It works great. When I first installed the Boss CAP30, I could tell a major difference in my system. The bass sounded different, and I didn't have a loss of power. Plus I purchased it at a great price. I love the Boss CAP30 and will be getting another one.
