first thing I did was "will this void my warranty" speech to the warranty guy, and as long as I don't hack the actual wires in the powering sytsem themselves Its good. If I didn't have the caps my car would probably shut off, the big one at full power will draw almost 80 amps lol, so without the caps it would overun the alternator. I will always recommend Caps with any amp no matter how big or small, they recommend 1 Farrad per 1000w, but more the better is the way I go, I don't have one on my small amp but when I do an overhaul I probably will ad a few. When I hit hard I dim a bit, so I could actually use another cap probably but its almost unnoticable.
