well, i just wanted to ask if it's necessary to put a 1/2 farad cap to my setup :

alpine 9853 HU
stock speakers < tC (wow this high dB sensitivity speakers are good enough)
alpine MRD-M605 mono amp
alpine type R 12" 1242D sub

i have the HU hooked up now and nextweek , i will purchase the amp, sub, amp kit, and a Cap if needed.

does a cap really would add more deeper bass in this setup? or do i really need it using the stock battery?

you dont need a cap for that, caps are more for a delay in bass. A cap isnt really necessary for one 12" type R, its just one more thing for ur alternator or charge.

the cap has nothing to do with quality of bass. it is just so you dont locse power. like ... so your headlights wont dim when the bass hits. think of it as a powered surge protector... kind of.

general rule is 1 farad cap for every 1000 watts.
