Default Should I Use a Capacitor?

I am getting 2 10" subs and an amp put in my car on Thursday. Each of the subs is 150 watts RMS and they are being powered by a 1000 watt amp that pushes 160 watts RMS to each of the two channels. Should I use a capacitor or will I be fine without it?

No.

Read the sticky.

Pay attention to the part about Upgrading The Big 3.

You read the sticky and understand?

or

You read the sticky and don't understand, and you're choosing to be a smartalek to me by saying, "Thanks for your input?"

I think I understand it. You're saying that I don't need to put a capacitor in, it would be a better solution to upgrade the Big 3 if my lights start dimming or the sound is being distorted from the power dropping.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm definitely not trying to be a smartalek, just trying to figure out the best solution if a problem arises.

Gotcha. Just to clarify, I only need to do this if the lights start to dim when the bass hits or if the sound begins to get distorted right? Or should I look into doing it regardless?

I would do it regardless in case you decide to upgrade later.

Any idea on how much it would cost (ballpark figure of course)?
