Default Connecting 2 amps to 1 capacitor?

Hey,
Can, or should I connect my 4 channel amp powering my speakers to my capacitor as well.
Right now I have my sub amp hooked to it.
2 farad cap, with a total output of only about 1500 total with both amps.
My lights r still dimming slightly and just thinking this will help a little, until I do the "Big 3"
Thanks for any responses

It can be done with the right distribution. It'll be easier to just get another cap.

I doubt your 4 channel is drawing enough to make a second cap worth it. Is that 1500 peak or rms and what is the fuse rating of both of the amps?
