Stiffening Capacitors For audio Systems.?

Question

I have this really big Capacitor that i got from a microwave oven. would this Capacitor work as a Stiffening Cap for a Car Amp? Its 0.94 UF and its 2200 WVAC. would this work as a Stiffening Cap for a Car AMP?

Answer 1

Don't bother. It doesn't have enough storage capacity to make any difference at all for a typical car amplifier system.

To give you an idea, most car audio capacitors start around 1 Farad. You don't usually find capacitors with that kind of rating outside the car audio field. The uF symbol stands for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. In other words, your capacitor has less than one-millionth of the storage capacity of a standard car audio "stiffening" capacitor.

Answer 2

A cap is nearly a band-help on a equipment. in case you do bypass this course, and that i don't advise it, you'll want a minimum of a a million.5 farad. for each 1000watts you like a million farad. My advice is to do what substitute into stated above. the consequence would be alot greater useful.

Answer 3

Nope, not big enough rating wise.
