you should just be able to place it in line with the power cable just before your amp. make sure you have the voltage flowing through it in the right direction and you should be ok. exactly how do you have it wired?

You need to charge it with a resistor first or else you will have a fireworks show in the back of your vehicle!

A 500ohm resistor is good for charging and discharging any cap. Right Customsuburb?
