hey I was just wondering the effectiveness of a rockford fosgate 1 farad capacitor, if you hook up multiple amps to it? Im runnint 3 audiobahn 1251t subs! i only have a RF 500 hooked to the subs now but im adding two more and was wondering if it is safe to run three amps on a 1 farad cap and it still be effective!

for every 100watts you run off a cap you should have atleast a tenth of a farad
