IMO i think they're a waste of $ and energy(literally) You should spend your money on some 1/0 cabling and do the BIG 3 (<<---LINK In this post it was done on a caravan:smilie_da) before even thinking about a cap. Also, caravan need at least 17' of wiring to get from the batt to the back so use some good 4awg or 1/0 for the power. |
I have both the big 3 and the cap but that is mainly because I didnt even know about the big 3 before I got the cap but I have zero problems with both...

anything over 1000rms you should consider at elast a 2+ farad cap and/or extra battery to support your electrical system

1 Farad = 1000watts

going bigger in the capacitor area can harm your system. A bigger cap will need more power to stay topped up, which will steal power from the system because instead of going to the amps and speakers it will be going to the cap.

adding a capacitor to an already strained electrical system just add more stress...
the cap does not create energy your money would be better spent on an extra battery,big 3 and/or a high output alternator |
