What farad capacitor should i buy with two 15" kicker L7's?

Question

I have 2 Kicker 15" L7's (1000watts rms; 2000watts peak) running on a 4000 watt Lanzer VIBE286 amp. I also have a 4 channel 1200watt Absolute ABS9060 amp running two 6.5" Sony XS-GTX1640 speakers (75 watts RMS; 300 watts peak) and two 6x9" Infinity Reference 9613i speakers (100 watts RMS; 300 watts RMS).

I dont know what a capacitor is and i dont know how many farads i shoul have on it?

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer 1

I like to think of a capacitor as a sort of electrical ''shock absorber'' similar to what a cars has on its wheels.

When an electrical appliance is turned on the surge can do damage to small electrical parts. the capacitor softens the surge.

A 1 Farad capacitor is about the size of a large refrigerator. So they are rated in fractions  like mu's. Thousandths of a farad m---milli-- is latin for thousand.

Answer 2

ok its easy to figure out what size capacitor you need. 1 farad recommended for a 1000rms of power if you system is 1500rms you use a 2 farad cap. a capacitor is used to store current and it doesn't only store it also discharges at high rates unlike a battery. a cap. is best for bass amps when you need alot of power fast
