Capacitor bank

Berawal dari rasa penasaran pada car audio temen. Ada capacitor gede yang terpasang. Katanya alat tersebut adalah capacitor bank. Sedangkan setahu saya capasitor bank adalah alat untuk memperbaiki cos phi pada arus AC. Saya mencari jawaban atas ketidaktahuan saya tersebut. (Wajar aja saya nggak tahu lha wong grobak saya audionya cuma mp3 player yang tersambung dengan speaker) Capacitors bank pada car audio Capacitors are used to store extra energy for the amplifier to draw on demand . Capacitors are useful because they can reduce the voltage loss (small margin) on the other electrical components in the car. These large capacitors may not cure headlight and/or interior light dimming as this is a sign of too little amperage from the alternator. A capacitor is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. A capacitor doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing else. If the curr
