no...on car audio its in series with the positive feed

I don't think a capacitor in series with the DC power lead of a car
audio system is going to work very well.

I noticed that a lot of high end auto audio systems use a capacitor in
series with the main power lead to the amplifies so the amp hits
harder.


This is more audiophool nonsense than anything else.


This does indeed help with audio amplifiers (especialy subwoofer amps) a
large capacitor (ie. 1 Farad) is placed in *paralel* (as in across) the
+ and - power leads,just like the battery would be.The cap acts much
like a filter cap in a power supply.
I put a little over 0.1F (100,000uf) on my 400W sub amp,and it made a
big difference.I suspect it might be useful for mobile RF amps aswell.
