[QUOTE="TBlaar, post: 1984882, member: 569502"] Hi everyone. I'm new, and need some help. My mate has just bought himself a 1 farad cap. his amp was cutting out when the system was played loud. we thought a cap might provide more stable power. now, even with the cap, it does the same. we are suspecting the amplifier, as he has just bought a brand new battery, and it's doing the same. anyway, the question is this... When installing the cap, we wired it directly into the system, as it should be. then afterwards, we heard and read about charging the cap first. when looking in the box of the cap, we found a resistor lying all alone in there. Now, how important is it to first charge the cap with the resistor, and secondly, could we have damaged it? what do we do now? do we discharge it? the wiring diagram that came with the cap is in russian i think. do't you have to connect the resistor in a certain way, i understand a resistor also has a + and a _. any input would be greatly appreciated...
