great bang for your buck

i bought the cap awhile ago because the one i had didn't have enough power. I installed it and my lights quit dimming and added more volts to my system so i would recommend it to anyone who looking for extra power.

Power Acoustik 30 Farad Cap

I would say well worth the money, I ordered one of these a couple of months ago and it has helped allot. Its great for comps were you burp your subs, holds that little bit of extra power and it pushes it out fast peaking the overall watts and boosting spl by just enough to win. Its also great for helping out with dimming head lights when your bumpin down the road at night. Only negative thing I can say about it is that is not a true 30 farad but by looking at the price you can tell that. Again, a good value buy.

Awesome piece of equipment--great value

I had a tsunami 1.2 farad capacitor in my car for about a year, running both a 2400 watt and a 1000 watt amplifier. I could never turn the volume up past 1/4 of the way without the deck shorting out and turning back on. I recently purchased this 30 farad cap to handle all that power a little better, and the difference is amazing! I can turn the volume up to the point where it's ridiculous and then some without shutting down the system. I would recommend this to anyone who has a powerful system that wants stability of voltage and sound, not to mention the awesome blue LED's that light up.

Garbage

sorry to choke on peoples ideas about capacitors and to sonic electronix you guys have great products and great prices and i am sorry to realize that you sell this product, i bought this with the anticipation of a much better electrical system. well first of all when hooking it up (instructions were easy very nice, everything included, the case is cool), the positive input terminal was loose and could not hold a charge while my 2 15's were pounding because it would further rattle the positive input terminal making a loose connection which resulted in it shutting off. second of all, from the day i got it when i would turn it upside down i could hear parts falling inside of it which made me think about whether or not it is in fact a good product. because of the loose connection, i ended up taking out the capacitor, and to my surprise, my electrical got better? i was getting higher voltage readings without the capacitor.. overall, i think that capacitors in general aren't really worth the money because getting main sources of power (ie batteries and alternators) is a much better choice than getting added "fake" power.. but if you are to go with a capacitor (which i never will again), get something of a good name, I hear rockfords capacitors live up to the expectations also tsunami and stinger..

Power Acoustik PCX-30F

I would recommend this product. The digital readout is bright and easy to read, hook up was a breeze. All around it is a good cap, and for the money I couldn't find a better deal.

Great Product

I recently bought this cap and it works great. i have 2 12" re audio sxx d2 and a 3000.1 re audio amp. before my lights would dim and nearly shut my car off it would seem. Since adding this cap my lights hardly dim and my system sounds amazing. Not to mention the chrome and blue leds looks great in my trunk

Good Hybrid Capacitor

I didn't Like the fact that the case is all plastic but other than that this a high quality Hybrid Capacitor for the price. The lights are a nice soft blue and not overly bright.

Wow is this bright.

I have a blue theme in my car, Alpine amp for highs with blue light, HiFonics amp with blue HF logo, and this, and mannnnn with this right in the middle it lights my entire car. I have it located on the back of my seats with them folded down and have no need to add any other lights to the interior. It performs as it should, very pleased.

Very Pleased

I would recommend this product because I haven't had any issues with any products that I have bought from sonic. I bought some door speakers from a local store here in town and they blew while everything and is still in great shape.

Worth the money

I purchased 2 of these capacitors to run with my Hifonics XXV-Sampson Amplifier and they did a much better job than i imagined. They are no match to multiple batteries but they do have nice features. The LED Voltage readout is clear and easy to read and features a built in alarm when voltage drops to low. Only negative thing i have to say is that the casing is made out of plastic.

Good deals

This power cap is great. The price was right and i installed it in about 15 min. I already have told other stereo enthusiasts about the cap, they've heard it and I've told them where to get it.

working around a weak alternaror

I now own 2 of these caps. Along with a yellow top gel cell battery up front my lights hardly dim nowadays. Let alone the battery light come on. I would suggest this cap for its ease of installation and performance. Can't go wrong paying less than a bill for it.

4 year review

So here it is 2019 I bought this 1/30/15, I still use this cap the only issues i have with it are sometimes when you kick the system on the digital read out and the voltage alarm goes into a loop the alarm stays on solid until I restart the system. The terminals have held up I have 1/0 ga. When the display isnt in loop it still works well, the led lights inside it one side has gone out but has no effect on operation.

Good capacitor great price

I bought this capacitor to help with a head light dimming issue. I have 2 champion series 10s on an autotek TA2050. My headlights were dimming severely on my Camry. This capacitor is just what I needed. Solved my headlight issue and it really cleaned up the sound of my subwoofers too. Sonic Electronix always has the best deals and fast shipping too.

packs a nice punch

I like the blue lights and the digital read out. It's easy to hook up and charge. Take 0 gauge like a champ without any problems.

Great look and set up.

Well I wasn't too sure about this product but purchased anyways and made a great choice it produces the extra power needed to power your amp and also keeps your headlights from dimming on your vehicle or interior lights so great job on the manufacturing of this product I would recommend buying to anyone I have two 12-in Infinity kappa subs pushing about 3,000 Watts I believe maybe more but with this product and my amp everything worked out well thanks a lot!!!

NICE ITEM FOR PRICE

I ordered this cap due to outgrowing my previous capacitor. this item helped but what I really need is two batteries which I knew this may not fix my issue when I ordered it.

perfect price and item all in one

I tell you one thing for sure, this holds your bass like it says. And when it's time to drop boy does it. MY lights don't dim like they use to. However i'm sooooo tempted to get a second battery and add more SPEAKERS just to push this to the limit. YOLO
