Team-BHP - Stinger capacitors.

Hello everyone :)
need some help here on this one..
Been wanting to upgrade my capacitor for a long time.
its a 1 farad audiobhan cap.
now i have the option of getting the Stinger SPC5010 10 Farad PRO Hybrid Power Capacitor . Getting it really cheap too.
Now here is whats on my mind.
Will this make any difference to my power draw ? ill get it even if there is a small increase.
How are hybrid caps better than normal electrolytic caps ?
Thanks a lot in advance everyone

here is a link to the Stinger SPC5010:-

Stinger - SPC5010 Pro Hybrid Capacitor - November 2007 – MiniTruckinWeb.com NEW PRODUCTS Forum

Stinger makes some good products, I have a 1 Farad stinger cap in my Ikon, their performance batteries are good too, mine has survived a lot of beating in the Zen for 2 years.
Capacitors as such dont make a setup louder or anything but a big cap can run the system more efficient on the long run. I have a 5 Farad cap in the Zen and yes, it has served well.
10 farad cap I cannot comment on, but I reckon it should be good, So how cheap is cheap ?

Even if it is PRO HYBRID CAPACITOR, I seriously doubt that it is 10 Farad. For a Cap to be of 10 farad the size would be of approx 8-10 times of a normal 1 farad cap. Look out for the audison .8 or 1.3 farad cap for reference.

Tool: While the Stinger is a good cap, you dont need 10F of capacitance. If you do want to upgrade the cap, get something proportionate to the amplifier power.

I agree. Get a bigger amp it will play cleaner.

I agree with this man completely. Under no normal circumstances will you need 10F of capacitance. You'd be fine with your 1F Audiobahn, if it is original.

Thanks a lot everyone :)
Blueraven bro thanks for the review.im getting 2 caps from Stinger for under 10K !
one is their 10 Farad as i have already posted. Which according to their PDF is only good for 2,000 watt system for 8 K
Also there is a HPM 15 Farad cap for like 10 K as well which according to the same PDF is good for a 3000 watt system for 10 K
Im very confused hehe . I always thought that 1 farad for 1000 watts is a thumb rule.
Now im thinking about the 15 farad cap. lol
Help please gurji's :)
Big thank you in advance.

Stinger Catalogue:- Capacitors are on pages 49-56

Only reason why i am keen on getting from America cause it does not cost me anyting heheh.
Uncle buys it. :)
Sam bro im confused !!
is it false advertising or what ??. And what are good caps to get ?
ID love to get 2 X 1.2 farad Audison caps but its like 20 K + OFF MY MONEY hehehe on caps.
And also i dont think ill have the space to mount 2 caps . Thats why im looking for a 1 cap solution.
Much rather get another ID MAX with that 20 K. :)
So yes if you had a choice of a 2 or more farad cap. Which one whould it be ?
Sorry for all the questions sirji's..
And Thank you very very much in advance again !

P.S. - The 15 farad stinger cap retails at close to 500 $ but am geting it for less than half.
