Capacitor benefits?

Hey guys, this is probably one of the main discussions between bass heads. I'm wondering if I would benefit from a capacitor or not? My system specs are below this, I'm just looking for cheap effective solutions to a louder system. Thanks!!

i second that.. a good custom box can make all the difference in the world.. toss ur pre-built if thats what you have and build one of your own there are plenty of people on this site than can help you with designing and building if you don't wanna do it yourself

Yeah unfortunately I have a prefab it's only 1.8 cubic feet. I was going to try and build a box for it with plans from DD, it was a 2.5 cubic foot ported box!! But I'm assuming that in the end, that Box isn't designed for a type x, and can affect it negatively....
