I will answer your question with another question: how did you get into my car?
Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.
The problem you're having is an easy mistake. The wire you're connected to is not the remote wire for an amp. This wire you're connected to is used for a power radio antenna. That's why it's turning off the amp whenever you leave the radio.
It runs from your deck to the amplifier. When the deck turns on, it sends a low voltage signal to the amp to let the amp know to turn on. If you are running an amp on a stock stereo, there are other ways to turn the amp on without a remote wire, but that's the easiest way. So, simple answer, it turns your amp on when the stereo comes on.
the capacitor has 2 wires or poles, one is the ground or negative and the other one is the hot or positive... if it is for car audio amp the ground is connected to the chassis and the positive is connected to the battery and to the positive wire of the amp.
Yes a remote wire is necessary. You must wire the remote wire from the amp to and ignition source of power (a component which turns on when the ignition in the car is engaged.) i.e. the radio. The remote wire signals for the amp to power on.
Measures the amperage of the current .Your battery is in series with your car amp meter .
Wire the subwoofer to and AMP and the amp has to be directly hooked up to your battery. There is a second wire that is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the keys are turned. This turns the Amp on by turning on a relay in the amp powering the sub. And connect the ground to something steel in the car.
if your car has a factory amp you might have to mess around with the factory remote wire(this is what tells the amp to turn on) good luck
An ammeter must be connected in parallel to the circuit. If you do not understand the difference between parallel and series connection then you should leave it to a competent mechanic/electrician.
your ground wire for the stereo is connected to the ignition wire of the car
I have a mutant CD player, Sony xplod 800w subwoofer and a SPLX 800 amplifier. These are all connected, I have power and ground connected, the lights are lit up on the amplifier. Also the subwoofer has "life", I can hear when it turns on and off, but no sound is played through it when I put music on. Is this a problem with the CD player headunit or the connection from that to the amp? Thanks!
First, you will accelerate the car by turning on the key. When the key turns, the turned key, which is a sensor, accelerates the motor. If the motor accelerates, and turns eventually, it would turn the cylindrical metal shaft which is connected to the rear end of the axle which will turn the wheel, and ultimately, the ground. This is the way it moves.
