There are many benefits of adding a stiffening capacitor. The most significant benefit is the capacitors ability to improve bass performance in your sound system. This is possible due to the voltage stabilizing effects of the capacitor. When an audio system needs to deliver an instantaneous bass peak, the vehicle's electrical system often cannot provide enough power. This means that the system voltage drops substantially to a point that the amplifiers are unable to produce their rated power. When an amplifier clips, it will cause distortion and can cause amplifier and / or speaker damage. Stiffening capacitors are able to store large amounts of energy in preparation of these bass peaks. When a bass peak occurs, the stiffening capacitor delivers power to supplement the system voltage and prevent amplifier clipping. This retains amplifier output power, thus improving bass response and increases amplifier and speaker life span. Another beneficial effect of capacitors is their ability to filter the current produced by the vehicle's alternator. This alternator current, can cause noise (alternator whine) in the audio system. A capacitor will help reduce or eliminate this "alternator whine" and popping. We recommend using 1 farad of capacitance for every 1000 watts of amplifier output. This is a general rule of thumb and may be adjusted up or down depending on the efficiency, current draw, and design of the amplifiers being used. 5 Installation and Mounting Please refer to the following drawing to install screws into the mounting tabs of the capacitor's side rails. [. . . ] Take care when you work near the gas tanks, gas lines, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring. Attach the system securely to the automobile to prevent damage, particularly in the event of an accident. Do not mount the system so that the wire connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from nearby objects. The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery positive terminal connection. [. . . ]
