It depends on the power rating of the amplifier. The rule of thumb is often said to be 1000 RMS watts per farad.
RMS watts is basically the average output of your amp/subwoofer. The power ratings most often given by manufacturers are Peak Watts, ie. how much power the amp/sub can take before breaking down. The RMS wattage is often about half of your Peak rating.
So, given that you are running your 1000w Peak Pioneer subwoofer on a 1000w Peak amplifier, and given that both of them are 500w RMS, yes, a 1 farad capacitor would give the amplifier enough juice to run the sub.

Why is the light turning off on your Scosche 500k Micro-Farad Capacitor?
this cap only needs to be lit when it first comes on and when bass drains enough out of it that it starts to draw off your car so it does come on and off that what it does (normal)
Wiring 1 farad capacitor?
the capacitor has 2 wires or poles, one is the ground or negative and the other one is the hot or positive... if it is for car audio amp the ground is connected to the chassis and the positive is connected to the battery and to the positive wire of the amp.
What is the difference between a 1000 micro farad capacitor and a 1500 micro farad capacitor?
about 500 uF
Is 1.5 farad capacitor enough for a 1300 watt system?
yes it is i am running a 2500w and it is fine.
On a run capacitor what does the MFD stand for?
Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.
What is the basic unit of a capacitor?
micro farad
A farad is a measure of what?
The Farad is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated on the capacitor. Named after Michael Faraday
Unit of capacitor is?
The SI unit of capacitance is the farad. 1 farad is 1 coulomb per volt.
Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?
I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.
What would be the physical size of a 1 farad capacitor?
When used in car audio applications, a 1 farad capacitor is usually about 6" long and about 2.5-3" in diameter.
What size capacitor you need for a 1000 watts amplifier?
It takes 1 farad for every 1000 watts so u need 2 farads.
How many farads does a scosche 500k capacitor have?
500K is 500 000 µ Farad so it's ½ a Farad
Can you use a farad capacitor as a battery capacitor?
No. The large farad capacitors are not designed to pass a lot of current. They are intended for ultra-low current applications such as memory retention in a CMOS type device.
Does 001 farad of capacitor have polarity?
Only electrolytic capacitors (tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor) are polarized.0.001 farad = 1000 microfaradThis is a value that is too large for any practical capacitor except an electrolytic, so yes it will be polarized.
