Another Capaciator Question!

I have just installed a poer capaciator I know it was a little over kill fro my car but I'm thinking in the future it may pay off looking at installing 2 18 Kickers anyway my question is this is there any way to test the power capaciator to make sure it is working the right way I thought I notice a difference but not sure !

Re: Another Capaciator Question!

The only ones whol tell you that is the people who have been brainwashed my car audio shops and places like circuit city. Caps do nothing, they are a bandaid for the bigger problem. In the end, it will be cheaper to upgrade your electrical (new, higher output altenator and bigger wiring) Do it right the first time.
