I don't know the price on them but I use the Alumapro cap... I have a 15 farad, haven't had a single issue and I'm running 4 amps through it.

I have a Lightning Audio 1 farad. I think it is the Strike or Storm series. Has a digital voltage meter top. I am looking to sell if interested, make an offer.

My cap has a charging block that you hook up to the top of the cap. You then hook a couple of wires attached to the block, one to positive side of battery, one negative until green charge light goes out. I have an offer of $40 shipped if anyone wants to beat that.
