There's often a great deal of confusion on the best way to wire a car audio capacitor. A positive and also a negative. The negative terminal is connected to earth. The positive terminal is joined "inline" with the car audio amplifier 12 volts terminal. Ideally the power capacitor should be as near as possible for the amplifier. In just a few feet is acceptable. This keeps any cable losses to a nadir.
An electrical capacitor is placed between the car battery and also the car audio amplifier. An electric capacitor is used to help to provide large amounts of current without creating a big draw to the vehicle's electrical system. An electrical capacitor will avoid crushing draw in battery and the vehicles alternator and provide maximum performance for your car audio amplifier.
Before you put in a capacitor, you must charge it to stop blowing fuses. Utilize a voltmeter together with a resistor to charge your sound capacitor. You can now wire the capacitor in parallel to your vehicle amplifier.
Remove the inline fuse in the car audio amplifier power wire. Disconnect the power wire in the car audio amplifier with a screwdriver.
Connect one end of the 4-gauge ground wire to the exact same place the vehicle audio amplifier is grounded. Connect the opposite end of the 4-gauge ground wire to the negative phase of the power capacitor and secure it limited using the wrench set.
Fit a 1k ohm resistor in the fuse block in place of the car amplifier power cable fuse. Connect the volt meter to the positive and negative terminals of the power capacitor; the first reading ought to be zero volts.
Connect the power cable to the positive aspect of the power capacitor and observe the volt meter. The power capacitor has been properly charged, if the volt meter reaches 12-volts. Leave the vehicle amplifier power cable joined to the power capacitor.
Set the 4-gauge power wire onto the good side to the power capacitor as well as the car amplifier power wire. Secure them closely with the wrench set.
Connect the 4-gauge power wire to the to the positive terminal on the amp and fix it tight with a screwdriver. Install the first fuse into the fuse block for that car amplifier power wire. In the event your power capacitor has a digital display, you will see a smaller third terminal on the energy capacitor; this needs to be hooked up to the amplifier's remote wire to turn on the digital display.
