Headlights dimming when your subs hit hard? Want the boom to go bump a little more? The Boss Audio CPBK2 2 Farad Capacitor does an excellent job for the price! After installing my bass hits harder and at night time I don't see my headlights dimming when the beat drops! This capacitor simply gets the job done at a very affordable price. Please Note: - The wiring diagram included with this capacitor does show the use of a distribution block, please purchase an amplifier distribution block to use with your amplifier. - The general rule of thumb is 1 Farad per 1,000 Watts. So if you have a 1,000 watt amplifier you need at least a 1 Farad Capacitor. You can use larger farad capacitors on smaller amplifiers but best to match accordingly unless you plan on expanding your system in the near future. Tips: - Always pre-charge your capacitor, instructions are included as well as a resistor. - Disconnect your ground wire to battery so the amp is not active. - Connect the capacitor ground first, DO NOT ground the capacitor on the same spot as your amplifier it can cause a loop. Then connect power from the battery (unhook your amplifier battery cable and connect to capacitor using the resistor (included) to charge your capacitor - DO NOT charge the capacitor without the resistor! WARNING - DO NOT CHARGE WITHOUT USING INCLUDED RESISTOR! - If you hear a constant beeping noise and the voltage display shows voltage going down this means your ground wire is not grounded correctly or possibly coming loose check it. - The voltage display will only work when you connect the remote wire. Yes, you can connect a wire to the remote on your amplifier and run it to your capacitor as well to avoid running two remote wires from the source. - There are some excellent tutorials online including videos. *Always be careful when wiring anything in your vehicle whether it be a new radio, in-dash tv, amplifier, speakers, or capacitors. The best method is to simply unplug your negative battery cable so power is not supplied to the vehicles devices.Read full review

I've not used these for audio, but for low voltage smoothing on my yacht, to remove electrical noise from my wind turbine. They do what is asked of them, and at a half decent price...

Open box, used product. I haven’t tested yet but i was surprised what I received. I m not gonna return it for this problem bc how much time it s working, for this amount of money we are good. Pretty good packing job. Transportation pretty slow.

I only have one 12 r type so It took care of my problem no dimming lights. Hits a lil harder too.

This capacitor is an excellent product. I use it for powering two 1000 watt car amps and have voltage loss and can really hit bass notes hard. Definitely worth the money
