what is this power capacitor actually does ? have seen many of them tbh, but never wondered what it was :-|?


Stabilise the voltage and power flow. Assuming it's the same as a normal capacitor I have no idea about the one above with regards to a car. But that's what a capacitor does anyway

not sure yet about the audio setup, but guess like 2x 700w amps .. also my cd player is on too, lights etc, also going to put a electric power steering pump on so it will drain electric too ...

The standard 1.6 16v alternator is 70 amps. This should be fine, get a new better battery. ie Corsa Diesel one.

How big of an audio setup are you going for?
