It is amazing how many people automatically go to battery/alternator thing before they even know the system or vehicle involved. Psss...if you spend money on more efficient upgrades and not really need them...that is also a waste of money.
Caps technically work for what they are made for, but if you are having an issue supplying power, there is more efficient ways that will fix the issue and will benefit you beyond your system. This will all depend on the system you are running, the vehicle, and what your electrical system is doing while the system is in use.
If you really want a cap, I have...
DB Link 2 Farad - $45
DB Link 4 Farad - $65
SSL 3.5 Farad - $45 <---Only while supplies last. I have 6 left and already sold 7 this week.
Another good option in the place of an cap is...

okay lets explain it like this if you drive a chevy tahoe and you put two twelves in there and you are having some power issues add a cap and boom everything is cool. but lets say if you decide you want to add better amps and 2 more 12's and components later down the line? that cap is now useless. so at this point you need a better battery and a better alternator so in the end you wasted money on a cap. the cap is a storing device doesnt make your electrical issues go away.
im not going to debate anything..factory alternator and battery are matched to run the necessary components that the car comes with stock..ANYTHING you add can have an effect on the charging system.especially a sub amp....capacitors are a waste of money..upgrading your battery is my first suggestion..a good deep cycle battery will function better than a cap.second if you add amplifiers that draw an obsessive amount of amperage,then upgrading your alternator would be my next suggestion..a cap is a bandaid for a problem that can easily be solved by taking the appropriate and proper steps to stabilize voltage problemsIt is amazing how many people automatically go to battery/alternator thing before they even know the system or vehicle involved.
