Capacitor, how to find out what size?
wrote:
Im anticipating that I will need a capacitor with my current setup.
You won't.
I
havent finished the install yet but I think more power will be needed.
How do you know what size cap to get? Is there a formula or something?
Many shops will tell you 1 fd / 1000 watts. Then they'll sell you one.
The latter should cast suspicion on the former.
Ive also heard that its possible to get too large a cap. Any truch to
this? and or can a cap too big damage the amp(s)
No. It won't. But it doesn't matter - you won't need a cap anyway.
