like stated above be specific and tell me when and when i hook things up

 

Charge the cap after you install it.

Remove fuse on power cable to amp, mount cap as close to amp as you can, disconnect power cable from amp and connect to pos. (+) term. of cap, and run a cable from the pos. (+) term. of the cap to the amp, [daisy chain] run a ground cable from the caps neg. (-) term. to the same place that you have the amp grounded.

To charge the cap just install a 12V light bulb in series, [inline like the fuse] where the fuse would go, the bulb will light up bright and within a min. or so will slowly dim out, when it's out the cap is charged, remove bulb, install fuse, your done. 94

 

why not just put a resistor where the fuse goes and leave it there for a minute, then connect everything up?

 

That will work also, if you have the right resister, but a resister will not tell you when the cap is charged, and last time I checked there were no lose resisters in a car, like the dozen or so 12V light bulbs all over the car. 94

 

resistors are a dime a dozen. i believe it is a 100 ohm resistor, just put it in the fuse spot and just leave it there for a while, obviously it will be charged if you leave it for 10 minutes, caps dont take long to charge.

The reason you use a resistor is so it is a SLOW charge, BTW a light bulb is just a light emitting resistor 94
