Why use a power capacitor?
This power capacity is an energy
storage device. It is designed to
supplement your car's charging
system, when your audio amplifier
places a high current demand upon it.
This occurs, for example, when the
music you are playing contains a loud,
transient, deep bass signal.
The overall bass response of your
system will be enhanced by using this
device. Since automotive batteries are
not designed to deliver the current
required by modern car audio systems,
a capacitor such as this one, which is
capable of discharging extremely
rapidly on demand, is a logical addition
to your audio system.
In addition, this capacitor can filter out
the AC voltage induced in the
amplifier's power supply. Unchecked,
this voltage can cause audible noise
in the sound system. It is
recommended to use a capacitor with
a minimum of one microfarad (IF) for
each 500 watts of amplifier power.
(you can never have too much
capacitance for any audio system).
The Planet Audio capacitors feature a
digital voltage display.
