    what rating of capacitor would be used for a 2.0 Farad car audio cap.?

    I bought a Soundstream 2 Farad Capacitor for my stereo, within a week the bass was fading in and out then failed completely. Strange gurgling and clicking sounds were coming from the capacitor when i would turn the system on. I took the plastic body and digital read out off of the capacitor thinking i could just replace it and put all the plastic back on. The problem is that their is no ratings or information on the unit. I need to know what the specs on this capacitor are, I'm sure there is a standard. Thanks.

    I'm sure install was correct. The specs I was looking for :Capacitor Type, Capacitance, Capacitance Tolerance, Capacitor Dielectric Material. I've looked around several eletronic parts sites and can't find what i need mostly due to not knowing what to ask for.

    You listed the specs. it's a 2 farad Cap. Did you correctly hook it up? you could have just got a dud. Caps are cheap, fixing it likely wont save you any money.
