capacitor question

[XeZon]

Hi,

I'm new to the car audio thingy and I don't know much. I was wondering if I can get my questions answered here Anyways here I go: I have a JBL Amp 1200watt (787watt RMS at 4 ohm) and a Kicker subwoofer 1200watt (600watt RMS 4ohm). Some friends of mine recommended me to get a capacitor, just to make sure it gets enough voltage or smth like that. So I was googling and found out that there's different type of capacitors. They're different in 'FARADS'. Well I dont know what that means but can somebody tell me how 'much' Farad I would be needing for my sound setup? I'm not planning any competition stuff, I'm just a casual car audio guy who wants decent sound in his car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Thx for your attention

Yea you will learn quickly that caps are no good, big 3 is a must for almost any upgraded system, and HO alts and extra batteries are highly suggested..

Also use the search button a lot before posting to many questions.. most of the time you will get reemed by people about it if you don't..

Either way.. don't buy a cap..
