price and product- not bad

Running 2 10" JL subs and a 500watt amp, its keeping my battery power from draining while allowing me to listen to my sounds. Not bad for a 1-farad cap.

Does nothing

I can't tell any difference with this item on my vehicle or not. I bought it to help out with my lights deeming every time my bass hit but there wasn't any noticeable difference made.

This capacitor does most of its job

This capacitor does its job of regulating the voltage to the amplifier. I still get my lights flickering. The bass is a bit more powerful (I did a voltage test), but if the bass is constant and does not give the capacitor any time to charge, the voltage will drop to 10v and your bass will start to skip. This capacitor is not bad, but I would recommend a better one for the same price.

Cheap and useful

I didn't know what is Cap means, so I went to my local audio store and got one of this for my 12 inch Pioneer, since I was using old battery, I was worrying, because of cheap price, but you know what, it works, and works great, I felt big difference in sound!! It worth it, but still, instead of cap save for better battery :)

I had it for a while and it saved a little. Buy this and you should upgrade battery.

1 Farad Capacitor

This is a great capacitor. For being relatively inexpensive it does the job perfectly well. Sure I could have paid a lot more for a capacitor of the same size, but why when this one works just as well as the higher priced ones. I'm very pleased with this cap. The digital display is a nice touch also.
