Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well

I've had this cap hooked up for a while now to a mono kicker 750, does what its supposed to. Pretty cheap, keeps the lights from dimming and has a fancy digital readout on it. Only problem I have with it is the terminals are huge, its pretty difficult to find end connectors for your wires that fit over them. I had to buy the biggest ones I could find and drill them out.

good buy

Stopped my headlights from dimming and my alternator from whining. Worth the money gets the job done.

nice for looks

i like it mainly for the voltage display but also for the fact that its a capacitor. it does take some strain off your charging system but its only a slight improvement... its just for looks really

garbish!!!

My lights still dims........and I'm running a 760watt amp I would not recommend this product to anyone.........I guess I have to buy an extra battery

Good product!

I purchased the Capacitor to suppliment my stereo system in my classic Mustang. It works very well with my amps. I have two of them. I would recommend this product!

Nice unit

This cap was easy to hook up and works great for me. Never had a problem with it. Gets the job done. Be careful not to lose the bulb that chargers the cap when you first use it!

Well worth the money

I ordered this online because my subwoofer would hit so hard, all my lights would dim and this completely took care of the problem. I also had alternator feedback and this took care of that as well. This is well worth the money and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this product. Plus it came in three days which was nice. Keep it up sonicelectronix.

great product. great price

This same cap sells for 129 at shops around here.. It is worth it

works and looks great.

works great I highly recommend the product

cheap up grade

Works great if you need a little boost in performance or are trying to run a bigger amp than you're car can handle without one. But if you're running a massive system you're going to need to use a bigger farad capacitor. This is meant for a smaller system up to 1000w max.

Pretty good

Pros: I ordered this to stop my lights from dimming, it helped a little but most of the improvement came from the clarity of the bass!!!
Cons: don't screw the brackets down to tight or they will break and it's pretty hard to find replacements

OK

Works like it should, made a slight quality adjustment to my system, would recomend to anyone with a 700 watt or lower system

Good Cap for a good price

I bought this cap to help eliminate some alt. whine and has helped out greatly. This is the best price I was able to find of one and the digital read out is a nice bounus.

does great job

It stoped my headlights from dimming and it keeps my amp(Rockford Prime500.1) powered to its fullest potential. also cheap!!

Great Cap!

I bought it 6 months ago and it does its job and does it well. Gave my amp which is 1500watts a boost. It helps with the lights dimming but you still may notice a dim once in awhile. I turned my amp up and it does a good job. 1500watt amp with one JL 12in sub. I would recommend this cap to anyone for the money!!!

great

It looks good performance is great for this little cap does just want i want it to do

well worth the money

I bought the Raptor for the features and the savings. I think I paid a total of about $38 after shipping and handling. It really improves power and bass response on my system. I actually use it on a homemade boombox in my home. I would recommend this product.

great product , works till stolen

I would recommend this raptor 1 farad cap to alot of people lookin for a good, yet not too spendy capacitor. I think it was a good buy! Worked great, good voltage stabilizer for a 300-500 watts RMS system, and cool led volt meter on it. Shipped on time, got here in new condition. Added more power to my amp 14.4 volts, was bumpin hard on my 12" mtx's subs. Someone thought... "Hey, I like that system lets take it". Some people cant get their own the right way. So beware of theft!

Great value

The only thing I can tell you about this product, It's still working. I've had know problems with it. Now I like up state New York, ask me after this winter

It does it's job as well as the more expensive models

I would recommend this product to anybody that needs some help for thier alternator/ battery, this cap is good to 20volts which even most of the higher end ones wont do (even though your car cannot produce 20volts) but it is nice to have that extra headroom. I chose this capacitor over the other 1farad capacitor because of the led display, In my opinion it is a must when you have a cap, it reads correctly.

My only complaint is that the led display is a bit dull you cannot see it in direct sunlight, but that isnt too big of an issue.

But in short i would reccomend this product to anybody on a budget

CAP!

This cap works as planned. Helps keep my L7 kicking and takes some strain off my electrical system. Great product!

Cheaper alternative

The Raptor was a lot less $$. I was skeptical but have had it installed in our car for 6 months now and it performs perfect. Glad I saved the money and went with the Raptor.

Great Product ;) !!!!!

This product has gone through a beating and is still working excellent!!

Good Price but...

I had this capacitor sitting in its packaging for a few months and finally had it installed by an audio shop. It did definitely raise the power in the 12 inch I had running it to but did not take care of the dimming lights. I have one 400 watt amp and running a slim sony 12 inch enclosed sub. But for the price, it is not a bad buy.

Great Value!

I had problems with Kenwood KAC-8105D (1000w Max) Amp overheating and every light inside and outside dimming. After installing the Raptor C1.0FM lights inside car no longer dim and headlights will only dim during prolonged deep bass. Overheating takes longer to happen (due to limited trunk space). Great Price. Haven't had any trouble with capacitor itself. Digital meter is accurate and looks great!

Not the greatest

It could just be my car, but the battery was brand new and my headlights dimmed a lot with slaps on, this improved it a little bit but not that much but it could just be my dumb car.

the capacitor

the cap was used with an audio system that pounds the road and can be herd around the block, thanks.

Great Product

It's a great product, good comunication, fast shipping..

Raptor Cap

I'm currently running 480 watt amp, with a 800 watt Kicker comp sub, my lights were dimming whenever my bass hits. I was skeptical about caps at first but it was wrong to. If you don't have a strong enough alternator this won't do anything for you. Upgrade your battery and your alternator before this. It only charges as fast as you alternator will let you. With that begin said I love this thing. You really don't realize just how much bass your amp isn't pushing till you make up for it with one of these.

Best bang for buck Cap

I used this Capacitor in my car to power my 600w powered subwoofer and it works great keeping the power surges from the amp from affecting my battery. Before the lights used to flicker a bit and at times things (like power windows) would work slower with all the power being used up by different electronics (55w HIDs, Double-Din HU, & Inverter) but now everything works fine since the main strain of the amp has been pulled off.

Raptor

Good stable unit. I use it with a V-12 Alpine amp. It sure helped my alternator out.

does not work for me

My lights still dim.

Best price for what you get

I've had it for about six months now and I've been nothing but happy with it. Love the light up display, the only negative thing I could find about it is that bolts used to hold down your ring terminals for the 12v and ground. You need an allen wrench or keys to tighten it but its such a minor detail and you can change it if you really want to anyways. Overall awesome and I recommend it to anyone wanting to save their battery.

Helps a little

This product does reduce headlight dimming at night. As far as a bass hit goes, it will give you about three seconds of strong bass before it discharges. Ultimately if you are looking for stronger bass, you need to upgrade your car's power (alternator, batteries). If you are looking for a buffer to reduce the bass strikes to prevent mild to moderate headlight dimming this product will suffice.

Raptor capacitor review

This capacitor is not a good choice. I actually don't think any capacitor is a good choice. they do not work and if they do its negligible. My lights were dimming every time my bass hit and my voltage dropped every time that i can see on my volt meter gauge. When i installed the raptor capacitor, all of those things continued to happen. I saw no improvement.
