For maximum performance, the capacitor should be installed as close
to your amplier(s) as possible. The ideal location is one which allows for
short wiring runs while keeping the capacitors somewhat isolated from
the heat created by the amplier system. The positive (+) power wire
should be kept as short as possible and be connected to the amplier’s
battery supply input. We recommend that a high performance distribution
block be used to create a splice into this cable (see Fig. 1). You may also
use the capacitor itself as a distribution block by adding multiple power
wires to the terminals located on the top of the capacitor.
No fuses should be installed in the wire between the capacitor and the
amplier system (make sure there is an appropriate fuse at the battery
in the main power supply cable). The ground cable for the capacitor
should also be made as short as possible and be connected directly to
the vehicle chassis at a bare metal location. Do not grounf the capacitor
directly to the amplier ground terminal or ground cable. The capcitor and
all other components in the system should be grounded using separate
ground cables. It is ok to ground them to the same point on the chassis or
frame, just not connected directly to eachother. (see Fig. 1) The positive
(+) and negative (-) wires for the capacitor should be the same gauge as
the amplier’s power and ground cables.
