  1. the basic definition of a capacitor is a cell designed to hold a specific amount of charge for only as long as an outlet for energy escape is not available. The very instant an exit path is available - the capacitor discharges its entire charge. Once discharged, if given supply of "re-fill" juice, it wil instantaneously demand a complete recharge from the source supply. Capacitors in car audio are VERY, VERY, VERY often used FOR THE WRONG REASON(S). To put it simply - if you do not have an adequate supply source - the alternator in the case of vehicles, a capacitor is nothing more than a further drain on the overall electrical system. Capacitors, when used properly, essentially shorten the path between the amplifier(s) and the 12v +. As a side note - a 1 farad capacitor fully charged can easily kill a person, so be careful.

    a change in amp?

    my answer to this is very simple - exnay on the diobahney... that's fu*k audiobahn in pig latin. from experience the new HiFonics stuff made by Maxxtronics are not really anything to do flips over, but audiobahn straight up sucks - all show, no go and DEFINATE reliability issues.

    favorite brand names

    After reading some of that... nevermind here's my list and I'll leave it at that... > Diamond Audio > US Amps > CDT Audio > DLS - absolutely LOVE there stuff > Almost anything in the higher end Directed Family > Audio Control > Eclipse > The ORIGINAL SoundStream Now for the lower priced market... these get my "bang for the buck vote ANY day" > Dayton audio woofs - hands down THE best 12" bang for the buck sub (DVC)- they'll hold 600 watts, ported or sealed and are very acurate. > American Bass - little known, still maybe have a few bugs to work out, but overall - solid amps > Avionnix - good amps for the money > JBL > Some Phoenix Gold could be in the above list, but most belongs here IMO Just to name a few - I know there's more, but that's what I got for now

    Hey guys

    I hope this is a cool forum with some helpful people. Some of you may even have seen me at splbassx.com - no I'm not here to plug some e-tailer site. I just have a love for car audio and like finding soll folks with similiar interests. I'm not into flaming, internet pissing contests, but I do enjoy a good discussion. Fair warning - I'm generally a smart ass, so if i post a smart ass answer - it's just cuz I like keeping it light - no malice. Anyway - hello, XSSPL
