When caps became popular (early 90's) the common equation was 1 farad per each 1,000w.

But caps arent really necessary, and you might get some sh*t for asking.

If you have the SAZ3k in your sig and all those batteries, you dont need a cap, and should know better

caps dont make power, they store power.

I think one way of testing the power of a capacitor is by charging it all the way up and touch the pos and neg post to your tongue //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif the more it tingles the more power you have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
