    I was considering the Voltage booster made by Easy Performance for our cars and was wondering what the repurcussions were for installing it?

    I have a aftermarket speakers, headunit, sub, and soon to have 5-channel amp. Will this damage any of my electronics?

    Please let me know the pros and cons!!

    Thankies

    I have a lot of aftermarket speakers and stuff that take power quick, thought it would help charge my batt faster. Also my windows are very slow, don't know if it would help that. AND my rear defrost is really slow lol. AND headlights are pretty dim.

    I can't remember if you are using HIDs or not. Either way I recommend you use a relay harness to not have them dim.

    Is that the simple...brings it to 15 volts booster or the same as the caspers that ups the volts over 70% throttle?
