I have to say it. If its an old capacitor, toss it. Not worth your time hooking it up.

Capacitors are garbage, move to a multi battery system with proper gauge cables.

Connect an incandescent light bulb to a stiffening cap and see how long it illuminates, then repeat with a battery- which will be a better storage device for long, sustained loud passages with heavy bass?

Any battery rated for at least 600CCA will be batter than any capacitor bank unless the bank is ridiculously large and at that point, it will cost too much to be practical.
