when you are at a SPL comp,a cap can help because you "burp" the subs..like a quick hard bass note to get the air inside to move very fast and hit the mic hard,therefore making the SPL go higher.
a high output alt and as many batterys as you can get,will never be too much.
long bass notes at a comp are a waste to me...i "burp" it and let er fly.....pause..turn up volume...un-pause ...BAM ! ! ! ! ...pause...thats how ya do it!!
