I believe they just get wired in-line with your power wire to the amp. So the power wire would go from battery to cap, then cap to amp, then amp to ground. Haven't had a system in a while but I'm pretty sure that's how it was in my Ranger when I had a system in it a few years ago.

What gauge wire do you have in place and what wattage is your amp? If you have less than 4AWG wire it may not make a difference without upping the wire size.

Here is a pic:



It should have came with a resistor that you hook to the capacitor first in order to charge it slowly. Capacitors want to get charged as fast as possible, so to prevent them from doing that and causing a spark you control the rate at which they charge using a resistor.

Im using 4gauge wire and my amp i believe is 1250 watts and should i have it fused inbetween the cap and the amp

4 gauge is good.

You only need a fuse between the battery and the capacitor.
