Where do you really think you’re going to find a 1500w amp for $100? The only amp you’ll find will be one of those cheesy ass Legacy amps that actually puts out a third of what its rate is.

Although capacitors are old school and basically obsolete, that statement right there is so false it’s not even funny. Capacitors have the ability to smooth the very choppy voltage coming off an alternator. A car battery can only do so much to smooth it out but capacitors do wonders since they can release energy much quicker. A smooth voltage is far superior to a choppy voltage. The only time a capacitor can even do harm is if some idiot hooks up a completely discharged one without using a charging resistor.

yea a cap is just putting more strain in your electrical system, your battery is tryin to charge the cap instead of power the amp… plain and simple caps are just ez money for shops…
