Now that I drained it and recharged it correctly this time, everything is working fine again. Original problem seems to be the “pro” installers never properly charged the cap using the little included resistor. Also, I’m pissed there’s nowhere that describes what their errors mean or troubleshooting them.Previous Review:I can’t find anywhere that explains what the different LED readouts mean! I emailed Planet Audio but no response. For 2 weeks it went blank, then it came back on but would beep every time I turned on my vehicle, then a month later it began acting normal for about a month, then it began to show an “e y” I believe it was.. now that went away and all it shows is an “e” (for error I assume) and the Blue LED light remains on.Previous Review:Used to beep every time I started my car, and it’s blue LED bulb used to flash every time I turned up the music/bass really high. I’m unsure why both of those things stopped working AS WELL AS the digital voltage readout quit working. =/ (Side note: Don’t forget to connect the remote wire like my “pro” installers had forgotten the first time around!!)

Running 2 12s my voltage is sitting around 13. 7 low 13s when whammin. Works great not a fan how the blue LED light turns on every time the voltage fluctuates though. Looks like the police are behind me every time I’m looking in my rearview mirror lol

I DONT THINK THIS THING DOES ANYTHING AT ALL TO HELP YOUR SYSTEM? I HAVE A 05 F150 TRUCK WITH A KICKER KX SERIES 2400:1 AMP HOOKED UP TO 2 12IN SKAR AUIDO SUBS ALONG WITH A 2ND BATTERY N BASS RESTORATION RCA AND I CAN WATCH THE VOLTS DROP DOWN UNDER 10 VOLTS SO MUCH IT SHUTS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS JUST LIKE IT DID BEFORE I GOT IT, REALLY THIS THING A JOKE AND A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY IN MY CASE CAUSE IT DIDNT HELP ME AT ALL. I HAD A TRUCONNECX 1.0 FARAD THAT HELPED MORE THAN THIS 10 FARAD DID. THIS IS SAD.

This 2 farad cap is probably the most very nice cap I’ve ever bought it was easy to install and the digital display is very clean and crisp and it does have a blue flashing light when you get the amplifier pounding. I have no static no problems the thing works great I would suggest it for who’s ever installing an amp up to 2000 Watts

Capscitor is impressive I love the blue LED solid on the tummy but I think I received it defective cause if someone hits it or if my subwoofers hit the LED voltage reader disappears like a single number digit shows or just a period (.) it could be a circuit issue between the connection and the LED screen module, idk but as long as the capacitor works. But I am returning it for new one to be on safe side

1000 watt amp bridged in 4 ohm pushing 500 watts doesn’t make this thing move very much I fell like it could handle a couple more amps easily works great

Overall alright. Had trouble charging due to removal of remote wire from head unit, connected resistor and no digital display light let sit for about 5 minutes came back and connected positive lead direct nothing then connected remote and it was nice. Working fine 13.5 volts without amp running 12.4 volts running amp full power. Have 1 pioneer d series mono block pushing 2 12” pioneer 350 rms. Didn’t have lights dimming originally and didn’t actually need capacitor kinda just wanted it for looks. We will see in about a month if all is well I will post another review.

Clearly not a 10 farad cap, it does help with the draw on the electrical system. However, it performs about as well as a quality made old school 1 farad cap. It is quite visually appealing, and in theory should prevent any dimming of the headlights.My headlights still dim, “not as much” but still noticeable. I am only running one punch 200dsm to one 10” sub woofer. The punch 200 is very underrated, and a class A/B amplifier, so actual output is probably around 700 watts of clean power.Over all, it’s an ok product if you don’t have a demand for much output.
