Energy Storage Capacitors

Energy storage capacitors are used to provide extra current needed by
amplifiers to reproduce musical transients. The capacitors also have
the natural ability to filter AC ripple caused by the alternator, reducing
the chance of noise in the system. The Punch Caps are available in a
variety of values and will maximize both the sound quality and
performance that Rockford Fosgate amplifiers can deliver.
