AMP install

Hi guys another noob question, I am getting ready to install my amp and subs and was reading up on how to wire them in, now the guide says to put a capacitor with the amp, but then continues on to say that the amp will function with or without a capacitor.

My question is do I need a capacitor for my amp to work and be installed correctly?

No.....what guide are you referring to?

A cap is used as a voltage stabilizing device....how effective they are under what conditions is a subject that will be discussed until the end of days.....

If you need a hand doing this PM me.....

So I was reading that a capacitor just helps to provide sufficient power to the amp I only have a small 600watt amp system powering 2 12" subs, do you guys think I will need a cap?
