Hey peeps, i brought an install of my pal which is 2amps 2 subs 6x9s a set of componants and a power cap...

 

thats all good cos i know how to wire everything except the power cap?

been told you have to charge it before you can use it?? How do i do that? and whats the best way of wiring it?

 

i kinda know you run the power to the cap then to the amp?

 

any help on this would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is just a basic wiring diagram on how I wired up mine !!! :biggrin:

 

 

Fig 1 - Your Basic power cap !

 

Fig 2 - How to DIS-CHARGE your power cap, they hold quite a jolt so get a 12v car bulb and connect it to the cap, if its not lit its fine, if it lights, wait for it to die out !

 

Fig 3 - This is how your basic power cap is wired, take the Negative and the Possitive striaght through there respective teminals !

 

Fig 4 - My power cap came with a terminal block to add on to the power nodes, here is how I wired it !

 

What ever you do, DON'T take the battery positive to the cap and then the negative to the Amp and then amp to earth, it will damage the battery amp and cap !!!
