Lambo Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 How do you wire up a power cap? Do you just put in inline with your amp, i.e. just brake the line and put an end onto each end of the cap, + to battery and - to amp?? Or is it more complicated than that?

sime73 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 yes m8, they should be wired in-line to an amp. (usually the amp running the sub/s for better bass drops) the positive wire going to the amp goes to the + on the cap (obviously)and the - on the cap goes to earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 So you have to earth the cap, i though you could just break the live and put one end on each terminal in line, so really the positive should have 2 ends on it while the negative has one going to earth, correct?
