Just use the one power cap, and also u don't need fuses inbetween the cap and the amp so just use distribution blocks...

ive got 2 lightning 1 farad power caps! and 2 600W max(bout 440W RMS) pioneer amps!
my first problem is should i hook up one cap per amp with a distribution block seperating the power to both power caps
or both caps in series and then a distribution block seperating to both amps
or only use one power cap to run both amps (goin by the rule that 1 farad is good for 1KW RMS)???

second problem is, if i need to install a distribution block after the power cap, in the wiring instructions it says not to install any fuses between the cap and amp, which means i couldnt use a fused distribution block!!
does this realy matter???:boggle:
