How do I know what farad power capacitor should I get?

truballer6

I have just upgraded my car audio system. Everything is Power Acoustik I have 3 12in Fubar Subs. I have 3 800 watt class D amplifiers and a 4 channel amp. I purchased a 2 Farad capacitor but i honestly think thats not going to be enough. Can anybody give me any ideas or opinions on what number farad capacitor i should use?

Thank You!

Answer
Javin M is so full of....well crap. He doesn't have the electrical background to know what a capacitor is let alone what it does. I know this because he and I have had a little chat on the matter and he has trouble backing up his claims with fact, he relies strictly on hearsay.

As far as connectivity, it would be best to contact the manufacturer to do it correctly.

I know a cap can be beneficial as I'm running one and I measured a definite change in my electrical systems response curve to big bass hits with an oscilloscope.

If your total system power is more than 1000 watts RMS you will need to:

1. Upgrade the alternator to a high output alternator
2. Upgrade to a heavy duty deep cycle battery
3. Upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator and the ground strap.

Failure to do this will result in you replacing them anyway as the alternator will eventually fail.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.
