Default what is a good place to get MA audio online. - cap question

i have a 2farid cap now but am likeing the looks of the MA Audio 5 farid.

i have two power wires running to my battery. one for the 500/1 and one for my 300/4 (both JL Amps) is there a way to hook both these powers wires up to the 5farid or will i be better just getting another 2farid and run a 2farid on each power power wire???

Default well umm a cap will do the 4 ch amp no use at all

Cap is there to store extra power when a bass note hits and the amp needs to draw extra power. Thats a simple explanation

Default If you wire them in parallel then the capacitance

values add. I think that this is overkill though. The 1.2 farad cap should be more than enough to support the 500/1. Are you presently having a voltage sagging problem?
