Edit: nevermind .. its red leds for the voltage display.

caps are worthless to be honest unless your jsut doing it for show

[deathwish666]

seriously?...i always thought they were the best thing next to a new alternator

any suggestions then?

[cherrington17]

new alt, new batt, upgraded wiring

[Fi-Alero]

Yeah, a cap is pretty much useless in MOST cases. They are nifty for a few other things though.

How much power are you running? What amp? Are you currently having any voltage drops or dimming?

What exactly is a Cap?

What exactly is a Cap?

capacitor. its like a second battery kind of. Helps stop dimming and too much power draw from the battery. if your lights arent dimming when your using your system you dont need it.

[deathwish666]

im pulling 1000 watts with 4 gauge wire...it worked fine until i put my underglow in...now after like 10 min of playing with or without the underglow on my low voltage light comes on but my lights dont dim and i figured a capacitor would do the trick

[jayson_waltz]

a cap won't make that much of a difference, you need a new battery. get an optima

[deathwish666]

i have a die hard gold battery....isnt that like pretty good?

Still a basic acid battery. You want to get dry cell technology

[deathwish666]

ill have to make a trip to advanced sometime when i get money haha...how much do they run?

[CBLOHM3400]

get a bigger alt

[deathwish666]

okay...well as for the cap i logged onto caraudio.com and some people said that i should just be able to change the LEDs inside...i trust you guys more than them haha so does anyone think this is possible?

[deathwish666]

get a bigger alt

are alts universal or do i need a certain one that fits our engine?

The Optima Yellow tops run about 150. Thats a good price. I have heard of people paying 180 or near 200 but Pawzbear got her one for cheap. Like 80 bux or something...How much was it again pawz

[CBLOHM3400]

universal will fit with mods to bracket but it is easier to take your alt off and take it to a shop and have it rewound to produce more amperage
i have seen alt producing 100 amps at idle
consider our cars only produce 105 at full load( everthing on) which is hardly ever seen

[deathwish666]

how much is it to get it rewound?

[CBLOHM3400]

depends on where you go and the person doing it
i got quoted like 75 to 100 dollars but that was a while back
