Capacitors will only juice up what you already have. so make sure to upgrade the battery and big 3 first then hit up the capacitors. one 1f capacitor will generally shalow out a 1v spike from a line. that means if your bass note pulls the voltage to 10, it should be up to 11 with the cap. of course, the higher the draw, wire size, length, wattage, and other factors will affect your performance. The cheaper the amp the more performance gain a cap will give you(they lack their own internal capacitance).
Either get a yelow top(deep cycle) or a Blue top(Marine - Very Deep Cycle) Battery. High draw systems need yelow tops cuz the blue top wont offer you the current during surges.
First and foremost,
DONT BUY ANYTHING WITOUT CONSULTING TR AHQ - YOUR #1 STOP FOR AUDIO DREAMS.
