I have a 1.0 farad fosgate cap. When I wire it do I just run the power and ground in and out on the 2 screws on top with ring terminals and then into the amp, or can I ground it seperatly from the amp.I have never used a cap before but I want to avoid the dimming lights.

Ground the amp and cap with seperate wires but to the same grounding point. Run a power wire with ring terminal to the + on the cap and a wire from the cap + to the amp +.

You can also get a ring terminal slightly larger than your power wires, say your powers are 4awg, get a awg ring terminal and you can crimp both power in and out to the same ring terminal to the cap if you want.

That's a big *** ring terminal though, and I wouldn't put too much faith in that connection

Couldn't be more solid.

Caps don't generally help with dimming lights for this problem you need to get a high powered altenator. A cap is designed to help keep the power of your amp running constant so your bass dosent bottom out.
