Yup, especially since it won't do a damn thing.

Default No? i guess the 25 farad goes for $140 something....
i didn't want a cap to begin with i think they're stupid, needless i'm afraid my alternator will be screwed if it's powering this system. Hoping (praying) i have a 120amp alternator although i'm sure it'll do just fine. It's a 2000watt system 1/0 gauga btw.

Default adding a cap only puts a bigger strain on your alternator
capacitors are a waste of time, space, and money for 99.9999999999% of the people who use them.
