I am happy with this overall. The pieces supplied are nice, but geared for very thick wire. The connections are exposed & that's pretty lame (terminals & turn on).
The instructions don't tell you that you have to have power from the amp turn on connected, before charging the cap. Minor inconvenience. Also, their wiring diagram is off. It won't turn your amp on, so you have to connect your amp turn on lead to the cap's connector. But once you have that, using the supplied (nice addition) resistor, it takes seconds for it to charge up. It has an led that flashes while it's climbing & you can read the digital display. You should be 12.1 for the average system.
It's a very beautiful unit, too bad it's going to be hidden away. The mounts that are supplied are nice. You can screw it to the vehicle or use zip ties.
I've used caps before & aside from adding a reserve of juice, they filter the current. The price is cheap enough to have 2 farads. I just wish there was a cover over those terminals, yikes! I will say that the terminals are threaded to add covers to, but they don't come with this unit. If you're looking for reserve power for your system that will supply a clean power supply, buy one of these. Will your lights flicker with out it? Depends on your amplifier. I'd rather have a reserve of clean power to go along with the system.
