I always thought knowing how current is affecting the the cap would be a possitive thing.

Get one from a reputable audio shop, and you shouldn't have any problems, as long as it's initially charged right. Not all are created equal, Look for low ESR ratings and 24V max caps (avoid the ones marked 16/20V max) Caps are useful for the initial voltage spikes, but over the long run adding a second battery is the better way to go. 2000 SVT Contour #1077/2150 MSDS Headers/B&M Shifter/H&R's/ 1995 Contour SE V6 #????/Tons KnuProject, awaiting mass mods
