Not if it is installed correct. The cap just feeds the amp the extra power it may need and my only be 1/10th to 1/2sec. It needs the extra power

Which capacitor is best for a 1400Watts amp?

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.


What mtx amp do you need to push your ts5512x2d speaker box?

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...


What size capacitor do you need for a 3000 watt amp?

u should be good w a 3 Farad Cap, but did u do an apgrade called "Big3" and then, i might wanna get a bigger alternator, and a 2nd/new battery


How do you hook up a 3 farad capacitor to two amps?

**** caution**** very much danger......on the cap there should be 2 terminals....+ and a - .....first thing is to undo the power supply the cap goins inline on the (+) side of the power supply and also hook the (-) to the ground inlined with the amp......do NOT EVER EVER EVER TOUCH OR ARC ACROSS THE CAPS TERMINALS....THIS CAN BURN UP THE CARS ELECTICAL SYSTEM AND OR KILL YOU BY STOPPING YOUR HEART.......SO HOOK THE CAP IN BEFORE YOU HOOK UP THE (+) POWER TO THE SYSTEM


Why 1 farad capacitor generally is not available in the market?

I'm not sure where you are getting your information. Capacitors come in a large range - nano farad to several farad. The higher the farads, the bigger (in general) the capacitor will be. For example, amazon has a 1 F, 20 volt cap for ~76.00. I would consider this to be "generally available in the market". If you want a 1 farad cap for 120 volts, it's going to be substantially bigger than this one (20 volt is ~5 lbs.).


Does a 2 farad capacitor cause surging and lights to flicker?

The capacitor will not cause dimming, whatever it is that the capacitor is being used for (usually helping drive a bass amp) is what causes the dimming. A capacitor is a quick charge and quick discharge battery basically, so when the amp has depleted the power in the cap it still must go to the car battery for power and that is when there will be dimming lights.


How do you install a car audio capacitor?

power cable goes from battery to cap + terminal. separate power cable from cap + terminal to the amp. make sure the amp and cap are grounded.


What is picofarad?

Picofarad is a unit of capacitance in the metric system representing one trillionth (10^-12) of a farad. It is commonly used to measure the small capacitance of electronic components, such as capacitors in integrated circuits.


What is the use of micro farad cap?

That's the component to use wherever a capacitive reactance equal to -j(159,155/frequency) is required.


How do you hook up a lanzar vector 100 farad capacitor?

Connect your positive current running from your cars battery to the plus sign on the cap and the ground from your car to the negative ( note.. Cap must be charged befor installing read manuals to charge ) not cut two wires one for positive current and one for ground those wire are going to run from your cap to your amp....there you go now your battery and alternator will be given a break


How do you hook up scosche 500k micro farad digital stiffening capacitor?

assuming you have an amp. run the hotwire from your battery directly to the POSOTIVE terminal of the cap. the run another wire from the POSOTIVE cap terminal to the amps power input( where the wire went before) and the run a third wire from the caps NEGATIVE terminal to the car body(as a ground) i have one in my car it wrks good for about 500 watts after that u need stronger cap. good luck


How big of a cap do you need have 2 12 kicker cvr powered by a 1600watt power acoustik 2 channel amp310rms at 4ohm how big of a capacitor do i needwould 1.2 farad be good?

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
