you say you couldnt tell the difrence..
What are you lookin to find?
Caps are not fixalls they just help an amp get the voltage its looking for in a highoutput time..

yeah a cap works good for the first 15 secs or more an when its drained its hard for ur battery an alternator to charge it back up while ur amp is pulling for more current,just my 2 cents tho

But the large ones do help with dimming lights. I have a 15 farad and it stops my dash lights from going out almost completely. I find the difference between cap and no cap night and day. And having a cap is never a waste of money. Although the battery already has like 80,000 farads, so whats 1 or 15 more going to do? lol.

The purpose of a cap is to drain. The current drains out as fast as possible to stabilize voltage.

It helped to eliminate headlight dimming when the bass hits hard in my SQ vehicle.

It also helps the starter motor with instant current.

Kinetik HC600 cheaper and as powerful as a 600farad cap

O and BB and CC isntalls are far far from professional, most of the time. They wouldn't do my buddies car cuz the previous owner cut the harness. I went in with a tone generator and got it wired up in 10 minutes.
