If that is 2400 watts RMS, then you will definitely need 2. The key is 1 farad for every 1000 watts rms.

Indeed. ALumapro makes the best out there IMO. they also carry 15f and 50f..they are developing higher. they are actually a company out of huntley IL, and my hookup at tweeter is good friends with the owner.. i got my 5 f cap for $200. def worth the price. i also love their top of the line subs (Alumapro 12" RX 500rms 1000 peak) soo clean and loud. $400 each retail got 2 new for $100 each. they are awesome, but yea its a great cap. check ebay frequently.

What are you looking to accomplish with this cap?

they are cheap amps... not bad, just cheap and overrated...
but that doesnt mean i wouldnt buy one, just something to keep in mind when picking out other system components.
