Hey i just recently had a 750 Watt Kicker Amp hookec up to two 10 inch CVR's in my 08 Scion tC....I was wondering if its worth buying a cap and if so what farad and where from. The amp is run with 4gauge wires but im not sure what the fuse is...Also wondering if i should put in a fuse switch to prevent the fuse from blowing. Someone told me that was worth it but im not sure if its a good investment. Thank! |

Is your amp class D or AB? 750w amp is not much and doesn't warrant a cap. If you have power problem, what you really need is a HO alternator.
If you insist on buying a cap, use 1000w of peak power for every 1F. Therefore, if your amp is 1500w rms and 2000w peak, then you will need 2F cap.
You can find lots on eBay. Don't overpay for cheap sales trick. 1F - 2F should be around $35 - $65. |

the cap won't really do anything for you.
it won't replace the need for a strong enough charging system. |
