Screw the cap. Get an Optima, and if you need more power, get a H.O. alternator.

the car will pull the power away from the battery and drain it unless you have a proper HO alternator. The capacitor would just put more strain on your alternator so dont get a cap. if you wanted to know, the cap just levels out the power kindof, and people would say that "it will make your subs hit harder"

it can make the amps a little more responsive, but won't make them "hit harder."

a cap does nothing without a proper sized alternator.
