Wall Subwoofer Would a capacitor help in subwoofer setup?
I have a 1200 watt max, 12 in, pioneer subwoofer being powered by a 850 watt max amp, which is being powered by a 500 watt computer power supply. I am running this with my home theater stereo. I have been told that a capacitor would help clean up the sound and clarity of the bass. Where would I put this in the setup, and how big of a capacitor should I get? I'm not really sure what it would do either. Can anyone help?
I am not just plugging the amp straight into the wall because I am running a subwoofer and amplifier that are meant for a car. Houses run on Alternating Current (AC), and cars run on Direct Current (DC), hence the computer power supply. It is an adapter that allows me to power the amplifier while it is still plugged into the wall.
It is quite apparent with the numbers you provided that your power supply is the weak link. A cap will only help level the draw and should be placed at the output of the computer supply. It will need to be a large cap and you will need to make sure you do not overload your supply. A better solution would be to get a bigger supply or make your own.
