Re: wouldnt you say

i just got the duralast gold from autozone, 2 year warranty, i have 2 10's and no capacitor, it does fine, just make sure u have a VERY nice battery, and you dont need a cap, my battery went bad because of no cap and the sound system, which in turn fried my alternator, so that was expensive, but now i have a nice battery and new alternator, no problems
