Keyser Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 We fitted Busters other Christmas present today - I recently acquired this from NeilP After a good clean, sand down and some primer I added a coat of Buster's favourite colour paint followed by 3 clear coats, today we fitted it, Glad you like it mate Quote

Mrs Keyser Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Looks nice and shiny but for those like myself who does not have a clue, what the truck is it? You trying to blow Bob up with a time bomb Lol no Humpy its a power cap, this is intended to be an in line capacitor so when the amp pulls more current due to heavy bass use the power pull doesn't cause the lights to dim and as the extra demand is needed the power cap provides it instantly offering better bass response and clarity of sound Quote
buster Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) how the capacitor works. the capacitor is like a huge battery with a short memory span. when you turn your stereo on, it charges up to full voltage; power fills the capacitor every time you start your car. when you turn off your car, it still holds the charge, and will continue to do so until it is drained. this means you will have it appear as if it is still on after you shut the car off. it isn't retrieving any more power from your battery; rather, it is slowly going to drain as it cannot sustain a charge for a long period of time. it is normal operation for it to display "on" long after the car has been shut off. it will not drain your battery this way. again, this is just how capacitors work.

350Chris Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 You could just do the big 3 and put that on a shelf somewhere - a power cap covers a problem as opposed to fixing one (assuming the problem was there in the first place) Can't knock it for 'bling' factor though Quote
Keyser Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Can't knock it for 'bling' factor though The only reason it's really there IMHO 1 Quote
