Review on ⚡ Black Stinger SPC505 Pro Hybrid 5 Farad Capacitor by Jeff Bruno

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Never worked properly

Well I'm sick of 2 of them and never seem to work at the moment, the one I had for 1.5 years just died. My problem was that my subwoofer wouldn't turn on for a while even though it was on? I never knew when I would have bass or not? I had a cheaper brand name capacitor on my truck that never gave me this problem - it just works. So I just went with a cheaper capacitor and it works great! What I liked about it is the easy connection, no need for distribution blocks. Only inputs and outputs - maybe that's why my subwoofers sometimes worked and sometimes didn't because all the power comes through the condenser? Small, fairly compact, and 5 farads was too much for my subwoofers, so I've now gone with 2 farads. Overall it's a good design, but if it's never worked reliably then in my case it's more of a pain than a benefit. And now I have a working system with a capacitor that costs about 1/3 less than this Stinger.
