Use a 12v light bulb to charge it safely. If the amp is truely 800w rms, then 1F will not be enough. You'll need 1.5F or 2F. |

passerby Unregistered guest | Mount them as close to the amplifier as possible, and choose at least .5 farad (500,000 microfarads) per 500 watts RMS of power output. |
|
passerby Unregistered guest | I do believe (if i'm not mistaken) to use like a 1k resistor to charge your cap slowly to the desired 12/14vlts. |
