Capacitor influence on electrical system
 
Did a thread title search for "capacitor questions" got a few results but no answer to my question.

I have a Stinger one farad cap wired into my system, i hooked it up according to the diagram grounded to the frame seperate from the amplifier and everything seems to be working fantastic according to the display.

Here's my question, now that i have a capacitor grounded to the frame will everything in the vehicles electrical system gain some capacitance? or will only devices that share both positive and negative connections with the capacitor (the amplifier) benefit?

Since the other end of the power cable from the cap to the baattery is connected to the rest of the car then theoretically yes the entire car has more capacitance. The thing with capacitance is the more resistance between the cap and the device, the less effect it has on the device.

Thank you for the reply, i thought it might make a little (even if slight) difference wasn't 100% sure.
