a capacitor is never necessary.. it will smooth out voltage to the amp thats about it

if your electrical system isnt strong enough you need a more powerful alternator not a capacitor.. list the equipment your running.. amp models

the first thing that you dont do is post in MAX ratings. the sub is 400 so that would be a total of 1200 watts.

the amp specs are:

RMS @ 4 Ohms: 900 Watts
• RMS @ 2 Ohms: 1400 Watts
• RMS @ 1 Ohm: 1800 Watts

it doesnt matter about all these numbers though, you need to first get a HO alternator

first get a ho alt.

you don't really need the cap. but if you get one get a cap. that is equal to the rms. 1 farad=1000w.

you can do that but i wouldn't until you get a ho alt.

nate from excessive amperage is doin a group buy this month. just email him for a quote, i emailed him and he got back to me the next day and the quote he gave me was amazing. you definately need to get on that list.
