well we all hove our opinions. i has doped up on my meds last night sorry for calling you a dumb ass. but, car audio capacitors and the ones used inside of amps and for alternators are completely different. alot of times people run a cap that is way too small for there needs. the rule of thumb is that for every 500 watts of power you must have 500microfarads. for my competition truck i have a little over 10,000 watts on tap. i would need 10,000 microfarads of capacitience. which would completely take up my entire bed and then some more room. i added 5 kinetik hc2400 batteries. at that point i would recommend a high output alt or 2. i have 2 300amp alt in my truck and they keep up perfectly. i even have about 100 amps on reserve to help with the auxillary lights other accersories. when the average persone adds a single aux. battery a high output alternator is not needed. i took the MECP advanced courses for my old jod in florida, i also took a a electronic repair course, and a electrictions course to become a contractor. i know what i am talking about just like the fellow Airman does. there are dead weight some like my batteries weight almost 100lbs. but, in the long run a extra battery will have no negative effects on a cars stock alternator, and it will be alot safe to run that a capacitior.
