Let's do an experiment......

[Silver Bull3t]

If any of you guys are runnin' big amps for your setup...

......Do you have a stiffening cap to augment your power supply?

If you do, then could you please : compare (under load) with and without it hooked up..

I'm going to hook up my old 1Farad Capacitor and do a few tests with the lights on,AC,and high blower.

I currently notice a drain (dash dimming and idle fluctuation) when turning on voltage demanding accessessories (lights, blower).

Supply just doesn't feel stiff enough (boom02)... for me.



Any thoughts?...

This seems somewhat relavent:

Tons of info on Capacitors.
