[QUOTE="PapaGeno21, post: 3502093, member: 581625"] OK guys I am getting a new battery for x-mas a Yellow top but until then im installing this cap I just got pretty much free. PLease dont tell me not to put it in, becuase I am. I just need some clarifaction on some of this. To charge the cap, I am getting a 1KOhm resistor to put in my fuse block, and then running the power wire to the cap and then grounding it as well. Now, I will use my DMM to let me know when the cap reaches 12V, but do I want 12 or 14.4? When the cap is installed do I want it like this? + = Battery --> Amp Fuse Block --> Cap (+ Side) --> Amp - = Amp --> Cap (- Side) --> Ground Or do I want the cap grounded seperatley from the amp? When I am charging the cap, Do I want it hooked up to the amp with the truck running? Or should I NOT hook it to the amp until the charge is complete, I cannot find those answers anywhere I look. Also after I finish charging the cap, do I have only a certain amount of time to hook up the original fuse and then put the wires back into the amp? Please don't flame me I am just trying to figure this all out without hurting any of my equiptment. [/QUOTE]
