What is a Good Capacitor?

just a word about the grounds from the amps.........It might be just a little better (or not) to install a cheap distro. block for the grounds on the amps. you can run 8ga. from the amps to the block and then run a single 4ga. from the block to the chassis of the car. Just a way to clean up the grounds a little and insure a good ground. Just a suggestion......99 F-one fitty

Okay the directions for my cap are a little confusing. Does this image represent the proper way to hook up a cap to just one amp.

you do not need a ground from the amp to the cap. Other than that it looks ok to me.99 F-one fitty

So then I just ground the amp seperatly.

yes that should work just fine. Altho Im thinking theoreticly the amp and cap could be grounded together and share the same wire but Ive never seen that done so I would just go ahead and ground them seperately.99 F-one fitty

Yes, cap to ground...amp to ground.  You can use the same chassis grounding location for both ground wires.Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Same topic, different question!  If you lose the charge light and just hook up the positive wire to the pos. terminal and the digital display still reads 12v and fluxuates when deep bass hits, is it correctly charged? And if so why have that charge light?  Fatgotti    Yeah my name is John and I am FAT!! YEAH BABY

charge light is a safety mostly, so you know when its full when you first hook it up and charge it with a resistor. Once its up and running, the charge light isnt all that useful.

Even if you did not initially charge it..Fatgotti    Yeah my name is John and I am FAT!! YEAH BABY
