A cap won't "fix " anything. It will only help an otherwise nicely setup system. It sounds like you may have a grounding issue or possible shorting wires somewhere. I would start doing some basic troubleshooting with the wireing first. you can't just throw more money and parts at a system when it already has problems.You need to fix the problems first. |
