Wondering which would be louder? 4 12" sub woofers at 400 watts RMS each or 2 12" sub woofers at 1000W RMS each? And as a kind of side question, what would be a reasonably safe level to push a 400RMS/1200PEAK sub woofer continuously? is it really 400 Watts? is it possible to run a sub somewhere between its RMS and peak ratings on the daily? like, without drastically shortening the life of the sub?

A lot of people would agree with you, and a lot would disagree. Capacitors with no charge pull more current than the amp alone would, BUT not when they maintain a charge, like if the car is driven everyday. It's obvious in theory and in practice that having a stiffening capacitor will prevent minor electrical issues. I'm not gonna put the time for that into my girl's car just to fix headlights dimming. In my own car, caps immediately improved my bass response too. Better yet, they're cheap.

I recently added two stiffening capacitors to two amps. They were wired the same. The wire from the battery to the positive terminal on one of the capacitors got extremely hot, caught fire, and burned up. NONE of the other wires were even warm, not even the one from the cap to the amp. Anyone have any idea why this one wire from the battery would burn up?
