capacitors are like shitty fishing lure's there made to catch the fishermen not the fish.

^ Yup...
A capacitor is nothing more than a bandaid (if even that)... This FAQ will give you some better guidelines about the proper use and mis-uses of capacitors:

A second battery helps but just realize that you need to allow your alternator to recharge that battery over time. if you do a lot of heavy pounding for long periods of time then you need to upgrade your alternator.

I took out the in-line battery, would you think i still needed a cap. What should i look for?

That is interesting, but not surprising.

I love the solution the best.

by DJ_Evel » Mon Nov 05, 2007 9:19 pm

OK I figured it out and you may find this interesting. The amp was mounted on the box and the vibration over time loosened the rear plate on the amp. The terminals were shorting inside on the rear plate and causing the amp to go into protective mode.

Solution: I used a lexan plate. Drilled vent holes in a box pattern sort of arangement for a vent, which I also mounted a fan controlled manualy or by a thermostat too. (I will set my thermostat eventually lol). Put in some little LEDs, flipped it over and used big rubber stoppers to mount it back to the box. Problem solved.

All said in done. its a little sloppy but people can litterally hear me coming from a good distance.

Thanks again guys
