I am planning on getting 2 kicker 1200.1 amps and strapping them where they push 2400 watts as one amp. I think i need a capacitor what about u guys? I was thinkin about a 2.5 farad cap. Think thats about right?

You should look into a batcap...

I don't have personal experience but I understand it will do more for your electrical needs than a regular capacitor.

 

Ok thanks those look like they could work good. Which one do you think would work best for me? Im not really sureabout all the numbers and figures yet so im not real sure.

Honestly, I'm not really sure.

If I were you I would simply try to email someone through that webpage... explain what your plans are and see if they will offer a recomendation on which Batcap will suit your needs.

 

With that kind of power you are going to need to upgrade your electrical system. 2400 watts of class D power can easily pull 180A. You might look into a deep cycle battery such as the SVR-80 or Optima Yellow top along with an upgraded alternator.

 

I am in agreement with Deus on that one. You sure will be demanding a boat load of power from your electrical system running that configuration and it would be wise to upgrade it's output ability to achieve optimum results from the equipment you will be using. Stinger makes a nice dual output alternator that can provide everything you will need to power up those whoppers with enough juice but they are a little expensive at around $400-600 but just something you might want to look into.
