How Much Capacitance Do I Need?

id keep the rf over the pa amp rf amps are underated and alot of pa amps are overated

I just don't think the RF amp is giving my components enough power... even after messing /w the gains when I crank it up real loud I can't hear them distorting the bass (when I get the subs in these will not have to produce any bass though). I've read many stories of speakers that had 50 watts rms and then people giving them 100 and them sounding that much better. My front comps are a set of CDT ef-61 CF's (prefer 110watts rms @4 ohm) /w Aura 1 inch tweets from the MR. series in the dash and my rear fills are CDT CL-6x's (prefer 85 watts RMS @4 ohm). Right now each set is underpowered... even if the PA amp doesn't put out exactly 100watts rms it's still an upgrade in power.

i doubt it but let us know. there isnt a big diff between 65 and 85 watts at all. you get more headroom and stuff thats about it
