I'm looking into getting a power cap for my install for two reasons;
1) It isn't doing my battery any favours
2) they look cool 
I'm running around 1000W through my subs and 500W through 6X9's atm but hoping to upgrade to more powerfull subs when money allows.
I've been told that a 1.2 farad would be plenty for what I have at the moment but I don't really want to fork out for a bigger one once I upgrade the subs.
By getting a 2 Farad (or whatever), would it make any difference that what I have at the moment while it's running only 1500W ish?
Cheers

What are the figures in RMS? power caps do help up to a point but if they are RMS figures then go for a bigger alternator, a power cap wont help on bass tones over a second long.
