[Mobile-Portable] Big Farad versus Hybrid Caps?

[Gary Fiber]

This might help. http://www.evanscap.com/carts14.pdf
I had not heard of Hybrid caps. I most always figured some of the car 
audio electrical claims was a bunch of hype.
Like Monster Cable, sure nice wire but good DC wiring will also do 
the job. Example I think the losses Monster cable claims in some 
wiring are almost immeasurable in the short distances run for speaker 
cabling. Seems to me it should all work fine if installed  and wiring 
is sized correctly.
