Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
Ohms law states that V = I * R I = V/R R = V/I P = I*V Where V = Voltage, I=Current, R = Resistance and P = Power or Watt Watt is the amount of electricity flowing through a line which is (Voltage times Current in (Amperage) = Power or watts) To find the power dissipated by a resistor of 1000 ohms, we first find the current I. The voltage is given as 200volts. Therefore I = V/R = 200/1000 = 0.2Amps We said Power or Watt = I*V Therefore the Power or watts dissipated by a resistor of 1000 ohms will be P=I*V = 200*0.2 = 40 Watts
A dimmer switch is used for lighting loads and not heating loads. The wattage rating on a dimmer switch is what the manufacturer recommends as the maximum load that the switch can handle. For example if you have ten 100 watt lamps, the total load wattage would be 1000 watts (10 x 100). Too much load for a 600 watt rated dimmer switch but not for a 1000 Watt rated dimmer switch. So you can see that the rating on a dimmer switch governs the maximum wattage load that can be connected in the circuit that is to be controlled.
do amps get pushed? Normally a 1200 watt amp would need driving with less than 12 watts of audio.
You cannot convert Volts (or kv, 1000 volts) to watts (or mega watts, 1,000,000 watts) because volts are measure of electric potential difference between two points and watts are a measure of energy/time. However, WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS so... if you have 1000 AMPS flowing over a resistance/load with a difference in potential of 1000 volts (1 KV), you have 1,000,000 WATTS (1 MEGAWATTS) of energy consumed/time. So if a motor has 1KV potential accross its terminals and it is consuming 1,000 AMPS, it is a 1 MegaWatt motor (a large one indeed). To get energy, you have to multiply this 1MegaWatt x the time the motor runs and x a conversion factor to get to the appropriate unit of energy. Yes, I've been called a nerd before.
It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.
It you mean a cap then it's 1 farad for every 1000 watts. So you would want a 1.5 farad cap. Or a 2 farad would work as well.
about 500 uF

It depends on the power rating of the amplifier. The rule of thumb is often said to be 1000 RMS watts per farad. RMS watts is basically the average output of your amp/subwoofer. The power ratings most often given by manufacturers are Peak Watts, ie. how much power the amp/sub can take before breaking down. The RMS wattage is often about half of your Peak rating. So, given that you are running your 1000w Peak Pioneer subwoofer on a 1000w Peak amplifier, and given that both of them are 500w RMS, yes, a 1 farad capacitor would give the amplifier enough juice to run the sub.
A capacitor meter measures the value of a capacitor in pf (picofarads), nf (nanofarads), uf (microfarads) or even farads. There are a million uf in a farad, 1000 nf in a uf, and 1000 pf in a nf. A farad is a very large amount of capacity. The capacity tells you how much energy the capacitor can store from a voltage source.
the rule of thumb to remember is that for every 1000 watts u run u want 1 farad, so a 1.6 farad would be ideal but u can use a 1.2 if that's all u have
I'm not an expert (actually I am, but not about car stereo's), but upon researching the topic, I found the following:"Since the beginning of car audio power capacitor time (late 1980's) the accepted rule has been one Farad of capacitance per 1,000 watts of power with a minimum of one Farad (that last part is often forgotten). This value was determined experimentally by Richard Clark (of Autosound 2000 and Buick Grand National fame). More isn't necessarily better but it doesn't hurt either."So there you go, have fun.
JH1200 - Jack Hammer 1200watts - Mono Block Class D - Can wire two subs at 2ohms - Or 1 sub at 1ohms - I recommend using this amp for your TS5512X2D - It will blow you away - And don't forget to buy a capacitor - I'm using a 5 Farad Cap with the JH1200 and TS5512X2D - A normal rule of thumb is 1 Farad for every 1000 watts - I got the 5 Farad because it was only $10 more than the 3, but a 2 Farad should work just fine...
1000 watts rms should be plenty
There are 1000 watts in a Kilowatt. so divide your watts by 1000.
I have a 760 watt amp powering 2 10" subs and it works fine. my brother has a 1000 watt amp powering 2 12" subs and he got a capacitor. So it really depends on what amp your looking at. if the 760w you wont need one, if the 1000w i would be safe and buy a capacitor. for the 1000w amp you would only need a 1 or 2 farad capacitor.
