What's happenin?  I just recently purchased three one farad caps for my system.  Total amp wattage is 2500 watts.  I have looked into how to wire up caps, and it is said to add capacitance wired in parallel, and to do a crazy division formula for caps wired in series.  Essentially what I am trying to say is will I get the most out of what I payed for by using a power distro block before them, and one after, and wiring them up in parallel?  The set i bought comes with buss bars and wire terminals.  If I set it up this way, it will be in series, connected directly to each other.  Thanks for any replies and help.  It is greatly appreciated.

just run the positive of them all together and the negative of them all together and place them inline. this is what your buss bars should do if not go buy some 4ga ring terminals or whatever your using and wire them that way.
