A1: No, there isnt any trick to wiring two amps to one capacitor. Heres how youd wire it all up. Run one power wire, large enough to effectively carry the current load of both amplifiers, to your amp rack.
What size amp needs a capacitor?
The rule of thumb is to put in 1 Farad of capacitance for each watt of power. Many see benefits with 2 or 3 Farads per 1,000 watt RMS, and there is no electronic penalty for using larger value caps. The bigger the cap, the quicker it gets ready for the next hit.

Which type of capacitor is best?
Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer the highest stability and lowest losses. They have high tolerance and accuracy and are more stable with changes in voltage and temperature. Class 1 capacitors are suitable for use as oscillators, filters, and demanding audio applications.
What happens if capacitor is too big?
Much the same way, a motor will not run properly with a weak capacitor. This is not to imply bigger is better, because a capacitor that is too large can cause energy consumption to rise. In both instances, be it too large or too small, the life of the motor will be shortened due to overheated motor windings.
Can I connect a capacitor to a battery?
A capacitor can block DC voltage. If you hook a small capacitor to a battery, then no current will flow between the poles of the battery once the capacitor charges. However, any alternating current (AC) signal flows through a capacitor unimpeded.
