lol. capacitors are used for peaks. When the sub draws peak power and u have the capacitor it can draw it from it, instead of a peak draw from your battery, thus no strain on the vechicle eletrical system . It's a small investment in your system and is worth it.
I say get one...
You proably should beef up the alternator aswell  |
