something that makes 400wx2 at 2ohms. Or 800x1 at 2ohm. That is if the subs can handle there rms rating

Well i didnt mean it to be the same amp. I was putting figures for 2 different amps. You dont need a 1 farad cap. If you think your electrical system cant handle it, upgrade. a cap is a waste of money

yeah, but 400x2 @ 2ohm wouldn't do him much because he has 4ohm subs, he would only get 200x2
