The truth about caps

Symptoms could include, weird rpm fluctuations, dash or headlight dimming, slower than normal starts when you turn on your car.

Well I've seen a cap PREVENT headlight dimming, and the only way it could account for slower starts is if you turn your car off in the middle of a bass hit(but if you care about your car you'd be turning your stereo off before turning the car off)

Please explain the mechanics of phantom energy to me. Where does this drained energy go? (besides resistance)

Finally, you should release these results to the thousands of stereo shops that recommend caps. Along with all those people winning stereo competitions. Oh the people making the caps will probably want to know too.

I think I'm gonna stick with the millions of articles that say caps work, rather than the ONE that says they don't.
