How can you tell if a car audio capacitor is bad?
MystWlker asked the question:
Car audio system - 2 550 watt amplifiers, 2 10″ subs, 2 250 watt 6×9s, 1 .5 farad capacitor, upgraded battery and alternator. After installing the capacitor according to the manufacturer’s wiring diagram, I find that the car battery is draining while parked with the system turned off. The amps are powering off, the only apparent cause is the recently added capacitor. After removing the cap from the system, the battery drain appears to have stopped. Is this normal for a capacitor to drain the battery under these conditions, or could it be malfunctioning?
thanks

How do you get started working in car audio?
Ben M asked the question:
From all the things I’ve read online, you need experience to get hired as a car audio installer, but I see no way to get that experience without working on systems of your own beforehand (which is out of the question, I don’t have that kind of money). It also doesn’t seem that difficult of a thing to pick up as you go, but where do you go to get started?

Does installing a car audio affect my manufacturers warranty?
IZitall asked the question:
I want to install (not by myself, but have it installed professionally) a new car audio system in my new (used) car with Manufacturer warranty. I have heard in the past that this could be a nightmare if the installer messes up something. I have also heard that it can also affect the other electric components of the car if it is not done properly. My question does this affect my Manufacturer’s warranty??
