stupid question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #31632 3 posts Started by cg97
hey guys,

alright, possibly a dumb question here, ive noticed that many of you have capacitors for your stereo's, what exactly does that do? ive never heard of that before.
Thanks
i also need a 1 one 1 crash course on those kind of things when i look into sound system for the car
power caps store charge close to the amplifier so that if you wanna crank it up then the amp doesn't struggle to draw power. basically it helps the bass tight but it also stops your headlights from dimming, a side effect of having a powerful system. some people think they're a waste of time but i cerainly think they help, other than that they just look cool.
