another question here *about farad*

[uglydimple12]

i am going to hook up 2 amplifiers...

both are sony 2200gtx (2-channel)
500W RMS x 1 sub @ 4 ohms..(invidually)

so should i get 1.0 farad to give those 2 amps power?

i am planning to use fused power distribution block because it is a lot cheaper than going for farad.. but if farad is REALLY recommended then i will go for farad..

inputs will be appreciated..

thanks
JC

Farad is the unit of capacitance. With those two sony amps, you will not need a capacitor. Just run the positive from the battery to a fused distro block (be sure to use the correct fuse ratings), then from the block to each of the amps. Then ground the amps.

if you beleive your electrical systme wont handle the load, upgrade the battery, then the alternator if just a battery wasnt enough. caps really dont do that much.
