Should go with about 1 farad per 1000 watts RMS. :-) Name-brand dosnt matter too much when it comes to capacitors, also, try to avoid the usper-high farad ones that look more like amps than a can of pringles.

Main thing about a capacitor that brand effects, is type of connection.. (Gold screw in? Gold screw post? Wire input? etc)

I was wondering if a person can hook up two amps to one capacitor. Let's say a 1000 watt amp for a 1 farad capacitor and a 2 farad capacitor for a 2000 watt amp. Now, would you need two caps for that application or just one 3 farad cap?
