Some capacitors require you to pre-charge them to attain usability mode. To do this, you will need the charging board that comes with the unit. It is usually a simple PC board card with a positive and negative 16 gauge wires. Simply follow the included instructions, administering the power wire from a 12V source to your cap's positive terminal. Don't forget to ground it too. Now connect the card, positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative (or ground). When the indicator on the card comes on, the capacitor is fully pre-charged.
Yours Digital so you dont need to pre-charged
HOw many Watts (RMS) are you going to be running?

I'm really for sure if I understand what you mean about watts running.

I was thinking of using my 480 watt amp to run my door and back speakers and my 2,000 watt amp to run my subs, but I think that I have come up with a new solution. I am doing away with my old plan of my subs and my 2,000 watt because I'm thinking about buying 2 12" kicker solo-baric L5 DVC. So now I need to know a good amp for those,but thanks about the capacitor because I really needed to know how to hook one of them up.I just need to now to find an amp to run both my subs.Then I will decide on my capacitor. Sorry, if I'm wasting your time.thanks for your help

Its ok, YOu I think Before the Cap YOu should get a high Output Alternator and a Deep Cycle Battery, YOu are really going to need it you have a 2000 w amp....... If you are planning to buy a capacitor, get a high output alternator and a deep cycle.
Hope this helps
