A cap can help you maintain your voltage to your amps, and help your lights from dimming, but it does require slightly more power from your battery...therefore it does add strain to your e-system.

It's still 100% better to have one then to NOT have one. In my last car I had 4 12" fosgate H2's (when they first came out) lol each set powered by a US amp. and I used a ppi amp for the highs. the drain was enough to stall the car before a cap. lol I added 2 caps and everything was fine. had that setup for about a year without changing stock batt or killing alternator.
but hey as long as it works now. lol
