Caps are pointless to an extent. 10 farad cap pointless.. 1 farad cap pointless unless you have done everything else like upgrade ground, power and alt wires aka the big 3. Then for how much your cap cost you can get a Yellow top that acctually will work! That in its self will prove that caps are worthless.
Caps are a selling tool by car audio companies and stores to make extra money by giving false hopes. I have never owned a cap in my life. when someone in this forum runs a Amp larger than a Soundstream Tarantula the 2000 watt rms one let me know and explain why you need a cap. Becuase i had one in my CSVT with a yellow top and lights never dimmed, or anything. ya if i took it off the cars main battery then the draw of 155amps (ya it was bench tested) would spell major problems for the 130a alt in the contour. and all the caps in the world wouldn't help the problem. Its good for instant spikes but most music is very fast paced and a cap can't keep up then it puts a strain on the electrical system to charge it.
The alumapro 50 farad cap is cool if you feel the need to waste money. If one needs a cap that large then do your self a favor and just get a few yellow tops you obviously have the room for them

Beats every one.
Are you trying to say its better than everyones or that for the price its better than everyones?
Becuase if your claiming either find what i have then subtract 10 dollars from what yours cost and thats how much mine was. Soo either way your last comment isn't true. Plus there are two Iasca Champs in this forum and i dno't think a Dual amp is gonna hang with that.

Ehh...an amp producing 1800w will produce more than a cheap amp that can't produce 1800w. But two amps producing 1800w will draw similar current assuming they are of similar topology.
A class A/B amp producing 1800w will use substantially more power than a class D amp producing the same amount of power.

People thought it would sound bad. Well, news flash, it doesn't! I know, quantity doesn't necessarily make quality but it sounds damn good if u ask me. This [censored] bumbs, hard. If I listen to it full blast for like 10 min, I'll get a headache, I'm addicted to bass. I have my 15's facing the back, and my 12's facing forward with the seats folded down. The only problems is, with the 15" box being almost as tall as the trunk, I don't feel it lets enough of the sound into the cabin like it should. But it sounds nice to me, thats all the matter, oh yea...and that I make people's heads turn! 
how are u powering ur system, do u have an extra battery or do u have some capacitors
Nope no extra batteries or caps. Just ran it normally. My lights dim, you can tell, but its not that bad. I also have to have my car turned on if I really want to bump it. Not because it'll drain my battery but because if the car isn't on and I turn it up, my 2 15's pop alot. I guess the 15's need all the power they can get. Otherwise, never had a problem in the year plus I've had a system. Except for a major power surge that shorted out my underbodies and fried my old 15in Rockford HE. Other than that, its good.
