also your battery shouldn't die if your car is running. caps are there to store extra watts when your bass hits dem low notes. that link is pretty much usless cause it just tells you when your battery is going to die when your car is off.

get a cap, I would suggest 1 farad for every 500 watts, but you can stretch to 1 farad for 1000 watts, depending on the draw of the amp. I would get a cap and an optima, that's the setup I have 3 farad cap, and an optima yellow top.

Batcap & alumapro C.A.P are the same except some people prefer the alumapro, but ya I would buy a batcap or alumapro cap before a stiffening cap.
