Does anyone who owns a rockford Capacitor Know how to charge it using the included "Charger Card"
with the green lights on it and all that bullsh*t?
I need to know exactly how to you use this so I can get this install on and Poppin
Thank you

throw that "charger card" in the dunmpster. Remove fuse from main power cable. Connect everything in the trunk, including cap, amp and all accessories. Put your test light in the same place as the fuse USED to be, when the light goes out, leave it alone for an additional 30 seconds, replace fuse... done.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
haemphyst, that wasn't a very detailed explanation. If the fuse is out, how is current gonna get to the rear from the battery? And if you mean put each end of the test light on the contacts where the fuse used to be, isn't the initial current spike going to blow the test bulb and cause an open circuit?
fastinanaurora, get the proper instructions from someone and use the "Card".
from the sounds of it I would think that that was the objective of haemphyst's theory. I guess it would work by creating the open circuit that would allow for the capacitor to charge itself for that breif second, but it would also leave plenty of leway to burn stuff (no fuse to keep check on the amperage) up not to mention its a pain in the ass to try to change a bulb in those test lights so you'd wind up replacing that.
Anyway, using a 'charge card' which is just a resistor with some LED's attached should be simple. You just connect the power and the ground (fuses still in tact) and then connect the 'charge card' to the remote turn on. This card should contain a little voltage charge that should activate the capacitor and allow it to charge as charging in a cap only takes a fraction of a second. This should be how its done, but as stratus (interesting as I have a 97 stratus) said check the rockford site to see if they have anything on the proper use of these so called 'charge cards'.

Doesn't it say on the charge card?
"install charge card on the cap. Connect RED / black wires to 12V. When green LED goes out, cap is charged."
