cap wiring ?
okay I now have the following.
punch 400.4
punch 300x
punch 800.2
i have two 1 farad caps. the 800.2 amp has extra terminals for a cap.
my question is...should i wire both caps into the amp in those terminals or should i just wire them insinc with the amps?
if 1 farad actually helps 1000w then would it mess anything up having them both wired into that one amp?
I just want to make sure i use them correctly and wisely

if you have two capacitors in parallel, they add like resistors in series. so
1F + 1F = 2F
if you have two capacitors in series, they add like resistors in parallel, so
(1/(1/1F + 1/1F))
(1/1/2F)
C=1/2F
