power Capacitor help

I'm looking into buying a Power Capacitor for my sound system but im not sure how the whole farad thing works. i have a 1750 watt system. what should i get in terms of the farad numbering system like, 1.6, 2.0, 3.0, etc.... i can't find like a chart that breaks down how much the different levels put out.

Re: power Capacitor help

caps will not help you have more bass. Look up the big 3, it will do more for you.
