Re: caps 1 farad vs 2.4
I'm no Car Audio genius or anything, but I'd go with a 2.4, just because the Amp is so big, or just upgrade your alternator to a 200 amp ($200, Ebay), would be your best option.

Re: caps 1 farad vs 2.4
with a 2400 watt amp on the subs, I will guess this guy is a boomer. Caps do NOTHING for bass volume, although somethimes they can keep the lights from blinking with the bass real bad.

Re: caps 1 farad vs 2.4
yeah, he would be a boomer, a 2400 watt lanzar amp to go with his 2000 watt pyle subs right? your amp probably only puts out a real 400 rms, if you are lucky. You don't need a cap or a h/o alternator.

Re: caps 1 farad vs 2.4
