I have a 1/2 farad capacitor hooked up to my USX 800D amp. Right now the amp has a 4 ohm load on it, so it puts out 400 watts. But, soon i will be getting new subs and the amp will be wired to have a 2 ohm load on it. So, then it will be putting out 600 watts. I know that 1/2 farad caps are recommended for up to 500 watt systems. So, the 1/2 farad is perfect for my system now. But, when i rewire the amp with a 2 ohm load and it puts out 600 watts RMS, does that mean that i will need a 1 farad cap, or will the 1/2 farad still do. It might not be up recommended performance, but will it even still work and help my amp? Thanks.
