[QUOTE="2theMaxx21, post: 120773, member: 546337"] Generally, 1 farad is good for 1000 watts, so 2 farads would be good for 2000 watts. It never hurts to have too much capacitance, so I would go with at least 2 farads. My personal favorite type of cap is the Alumapro caps. They use new technology that blow away the standard big cylinder style of capacitor. I've used them several times in different sound systems, and they work awesome. And they pack a lot of punch for the dollar $ !! You can get an Alumapro 5 farad capactior for the price of a standard 2 farad cylinder style capacitor. I think the Alumapro caps come in 5 and 15 farad capacities. I've seen some good prices on Ebay.
