Running In Subs?

I will be running 3 relatively large amps and i expect that they will draw large amounts of power and a capacitor ensures the sufficient power is there in reserve or is being provided doesnt it????? plus i expect it to make my lights and headlights etc dim when stereos on and the capacitor will stop that as well wont it????

or can you suggest something better to do or will it not be necesarry?

cheers

The cap will basically only reduce headlight dimming. You should install everything else and then see if you have any electrical problems. No point wasting money on something you might not need.

How big are your amps? I have two at the moment, but soon to be three. My current two are rated at 2400Wrms x 1 and 200Wrms x 2, so 2800Wrms in total and I don't use a cap and only have minor headlight dimming in my VT.

well i dont want go out buying stuff i dont need

but i will have 1x 4000watt 2channel amp (1000WRMS per channel) so 2000WRMS
+
also i will have 2x 2000watt 4channel amp which are 600-800WRMS each

so i will have about 3200-3600 WRMS if thats how you add it up???

i will be powering 2x 15" subs and 6x 6.5 splits speakers.

thanks for your help please make any suggestions that you think may help.
