Ok thanks guys, i'm going to go without for a while and see how it goes. If its really not going well then I will consider getting a cap or even the big 3 if I can figure that out. Thanks for the help

They draw more power then they provide, yes, because they are storing a small reserve of power. The function of a cap is NOT to be a power storage device, thus the amount it provides is independent of the amount it draws. rather it it's intended use is to deter a heavy draw from the amp. I am not arguing for the use of a cap, rather I am saying that useless is a understatement, it is not the best option by any means, but it is a option non the less.

Rep Power: 595 Bub please don't be dissin me because I am being percautious and asking questions man. Not what I need right now. And i'm sorry but I really have a hard time understanding what you are even saying. Either you can't type proper or u cant talk proper. And I am not getting a cap because its what I heard, its what I have seen happen to many people. Its a lot cheaper then getting a bigger alternator or a bigger battery for me.
I can see what your saying Browntown_01. So thanks man. I can see now that it doesn't really fix the problem, just covers it up temporarily. I can just get a good cap for a lot cheaper then any other parts. I just think that its easier on my battery and engine if I have the cap charging up and the amp just taking the power from there instead of taking it straight from the battery. I have a lot of things running off my battery. A lot of extra's and big engine things. So I just think that a cap would make it run nicer and be easy on it. I just wasn't sure in the end if you were trying to say that its a good idea to get one or not? And I believe that my amp is 1600 RMS(to lazy to go check in the car). And lastly what exactly do you mean by stiffens the system? Thanks man.

I tryed to say that the cap will kill your battery much faster then without one.
im certain that your amp is 1600W PMPO thats means thet you dont need nothing!
if you want i can chek your amp to be 100% sure that you dont need cap in your car.
just come to show me if you will be in my area North-York. i can give you my cell in privet.
