It gets hooked up like a switch would be. The main power wire goes to the positive side on the cap and a short power wire comes off of the positive side of the cap to go to the amp. Ground comes from car metal to the negative side of the cap and a short ground comes off of that negative to go to the negative on the amp.

How do you change a bad capacitor in an air conditioner?
Locate the defective capacitor, short the terminals to ground to release any stored energy and prevent shock, remove the old capacitor then install the new capacitor wired as the old one was and secure it in the bracket that held the old one - done.
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
Regarding Capacitors- can any general capacitor work on a circuit diagram that shows a polarized capacitor or do you need a special capacitor for polarization?
A Polarized capacitor means that the capacitor is polarity sensitive. if you were to connect the capacitor incorrectly the capacitor would blow up. A capacitor that is marked as being polarity sensitive will have the negative lead labeled usually with a white strip. These capacitors can only be used in conjunction with a dc source. Always consult a professional when installing electrical equipment.
What happen to the energy stored in the capacitor while the capacitor is discharging?
It flows out of the capacitor into the external circuit
How one can know that what kind of capacitor to use in circuit?
paper capacitor
What is the reliable smoothing capacitor for rectified 24VDC?
FOR A 24VDC it is best to install a 50v breakdown capacitor to ensure reliability
How do you repair a 680 microfarad capacitor?
To repair a 680 microfarad capacitor, buy a new one and install it in place of the old one. It is unrealistic to attempt repair of a capacitor.
How do you change a bad capacitor in an air conditioner?

Where can one learn how to install a car capacitor?
There are many ways one could gain the knowledge to be able to install a car audio capacitor. One could go to college, or university and study electronics. One could get advice from a friend or a book on the subject.
How do you get your 2.4 liter 1991 Nissan back in time?
purchase a flux-capacitor and install into the 240.can not be cheap eBay capacitor. Unlike the Deloran, you must be drifting at 88 mph
What happens if the capacitor in fluorescent tube becomes faulty?
There's no effect since the capacitor was already faulty i.e it was like not in the circuit. Install a healthy capacitor because it will improve the power factor of the fluorescent lamp circuit thus reducing energy wasted.
How do you install capacitor bank?
It depends what it's for. If it's for power-factor improvement, then it is normally connected in parallel with the load.
What are the steps behind installing a car audio capacitor?
First, the capacitor must be charged. Use a voltmeter, and when it reaches 12 volts, the capacitor is charged. The capacitor should then be installed near the car audio amplifier. Keep the negative wire attached to the battery. Then, a ground wire from the negative post on the capacitor to the car's chassis on the chassis's bare metal ground point. Next, the power wire needs to be disconnected from the amplifier's power input. Connect the wire to the positive post on the capacitor. A new power wire needs to be connected from the capacitor's positive post to the amplifier's power input. Install a 16 gauge wire from the capacitor's remote turn-on post to the amplifier's remote input. Then disconnect the negative wire from the battery.
Do you need to charge your capacitor before you install it?
Yes you must charge it before hooking it up. You can charge it with a 12 volt light bulb with leads or a voltmeter.
How do you install a hard start kit on an air conditioner?
Common wire of the potential relay goes to the compressor contactor. (5) Start wire of the potential relay goes to compressor run capacitor. (2) Run wire of the potential relay goes to the start capacitor. (1)
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
