First ground your amp and cap, amp has a ground slot usually and connect the caps negative terminal to a ground. then you take the power cord running from your battries positive terminal to the poitive terminal on the cap. also hook up a power cord running from your amps power input to the positive cap terminal
What else can I help you with?
How do you install a car audio capacitor?
power cable goes from battery to cap + terminal. separate power cable from cap + terminal to the amp. make sure the amp and cap are grounded.
How do you charge a amp capacitor?
Very carefully
How do you wire a capacitor to an amp?
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.
Would a 12 volt battery need to use a capacitor to run a 1000 or 760 watt amp?
I have a 760 watt amp powering 2 10" subs and it works fine. my brother has a 1000 watt amp powering 2 12" subs and he got a capacitor. So it really depends on what amp your looking at. if the 760w you wont need one, if the 1000w i would be safe and buy a capacitor. for the 1000w amp you would only need a 1 or 2 farad capacitor.
What happens if you connect an uncharged capacitor to your amp?
if you use a uncharged capacitor most likely your car battery will drain much faster using a uncarged capaciter will mess up your amp good power source is needed for your amp to give its maximum potential for deeper bass and no dimming
Does a 2 farad capacitor cause surging and lights to flicker?
The capacitor will not cause dimming, whatever it is that the capacitor is being used for (usually helping drive a bass amp) is what causes the dimming. A capacitor is a quick charge and quick discharge battery basically, so when the amp has depleted the power in the cap it still must go to the car battery for power and that is when there will be dimming lights.
What do you need to install subwoofers?
you need an amp and an amp wiring kit
What is the reliable smoothing capacitor for rectified 24VDC?
FOR A 24VDC it is best to install a 50v breakdown capacitor to ensure reliability
Can I safely install a 20 amp receptacle on a 15 amp circuit?
No, it is not safe to install a 20 amp receptacle on a 15 amp circuit. The receptacle should match the circuit's amp rating to prevent overloading and potential fire hazards.
Wiring 1 farad capacitor?
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.
How do you know when your capacitor is charged and ready for hook up?
The capacitor charges up when you initially install it and apply 12 volts to the circuit. Its purpose is to smooth out power drops in the 12 volt supply line to the amp. For instance, when the bass hits the speakers, the amperage surge can exceed the amperage the line delivers for a split second, so the capacitor supplies amperage briefly to sustain the power. Hooking up a small motorcycle battery close to the amp serves the same purpose but is possibly messier because of the potential to leak acid.
