Re: MX-3 Audio Project - Custom Sub Box / New Sub, Amp, Spea

why did you get a cap? why not just a good battery? NEUMAN I have a 6 month old Battery. NEW I got the cap because my system killed my alternator, which killed my battery. It was sucking so much juice from my bat, my alternator was working overtime to try to keep up. thats why the cap was needed
