Run the main battery wire to a ddistribution blockthen hook up the capacitor to one of the terminals just as you would for an amp

Do you want to run it to a distribution block? Or straight to the amp? If running it to more than one amp you will want to hook it in just before the distro block. If your power cable goes directly to the amp then add in on the power lines within 18 inches of the amp.

Must be mounted within 18 inches of amp(s) for optimal performance
