Tsunami LITEWAVE Series Capacitor

Car audio capacitors are used to store energy for the amplifier to draw on demand and help you get the most from your vehicle's electrical system. High power amplifiers draw large amounts of current from your vehicle's battery putting a heavy burden on your alternator. Capacitors will take the strain off of your vehicles alternator thus giving a longer life span.

The Tsunami Hybrid High Performance 5 Farad Digital Capacitor is perfect for systems up to 2500 watts. It features an automatic and manual selectable blue digital LED volt meter with a silver brushed anodized aluminum heatsink. This capacitor is equipped with six 1/0 AWG nickel-plated high current terminal blocks with 4 gauge reducers. The HCAP-5 will increase the peak power of your amplifier, reduce headlight dimming, and increase the overall output of your vehicles sound system.

Nice cap, really like the shape instead of the round type. Easier for my mounting. Easy to read and removable wire ferrels to ease hook up.

This cap has syling to match my JL Audio HD 900/5. Even at max volume level the amp never starves for power. Playing songs with a lot of bass notes, the lights on my car have never dimmed. The digital readout on top of the cap is also a nice feature to let me know that there is no problems with the voltage. I highly recommend this product.

This product is well designed and very easy to use. It features a digital blue volt meter that can be turned off. Nice feature since the bling and rediculous lighting of some capacitors are nice advertising for thieves.



The triple 4ga/0ga inputs and outputs are handy and will accomodate both gauges with the use of a spacer. All of which are neatly concealed by a trim panel. I am very pleased with the quality and fit and finish of this capacitor. I have owned SPL and tsunami caps in the past, tsunami is right up there with stinger and streetwires in my opinion, the only thing it is not up on is the price.

I bought this one due to its compact design. It fits well under the back seat of my 2006 dodge. Since the install i have noticed my head lamps do not dim any more. My amp performes way better.
