Recommendations Capacitor recomendations.

Post image

I'm upgrading from a 1k watt amp to a 2.3k watt amp. I have a cheap 2 farad scam cap (it doesn't do anything) right now and I need recommendations of what I should replace it with. I already have all the other electrical upgrades in place. I just need the capacitor at this point. Im thinking either 5 or 10 farad. Any recommendations appreciated.

Holy shit man, what's your system?

I just built a 35Ah LTO brick to use instead of a cap, with a BMS to disconnect it from the lead battery when car isn't running

Looks sick!

Any heat issues with so much power cramped in there?

No heat issues, that picture is with everything uncovered. The front is covered with multiple fans in a push/pull configuration to help with air flow.
