JAc Unregistered guest | How much power are you running. Rule of thumb for me is 1 farad for every 800 watts so you wont over stress the capacitor. By the way...if you bump too much without a capacitor your wiring might fry in your whole car or your battery will explode. words of wisdom and experience. |
