Nice looking but...

I'm runing 1800 total amp power now so I bought this product to make sure I had enough CAP. When I got it, I removed the old one and put this one in according to the manual and all my light still dim when the bass hits. There was some trouble charging it.

Pretty damn good

The capacitor works great. Easy install, however the flashing blue strip at the top can be distracting if visible from the driver seat. That aside, very pleased.

Great Buy!!!

Looks great. Lights up blue - I like the color. You can hook up many small lines to it or a couple big ones with o-ring connectors. Shuts off automatically and turns back on when voltage change occurs. It also has a digital voltage display. And a voltage adjustor. (Not sure in how that affects stereo performance yet though). The light on the front bounces to how much capacitance is being used- kinda cool

Best ever

I've had a lot of different caps and so far this is the best 2000W/RMS 4500W/MAX this paired with sound stream power cell Voltage stays between 13.6 and 14.8 at max volume this is amazing. The only problem with charging was that I forgot that the resistors get really hot so all ways wear a glove or use pliers.

Good buy

I bought it because my sound system would dim my lights BAD. Once I put this in I didn't charge it all the way so it wasn't really helping, but as soon as I figured out why it wasn't performing how it was supposed to I discharged and recharged and now it's working great. The blue illumination is awesome.
