capacitor installation

[eakin44]

I have a 950w @ 1ohm planet audio hooked up to two kicker 10"cvrs. I am installing a 1.5 farad capacitor and my question was whether or not I need to put a distribution block to break of the power from the battery into two connections to the amp and cap? Manual said it was recommended but not sure if i need to bother with this.

There's only one step: Throw it in the trash can.

take the + wire from the battery thats going to the amp, and put that one on the capacitor, then you take a + wire from the capacitor to the amp. ground your capacitor, and ground your amp

if you HAVE to keep it, you are basically using the cap as a distro block... no need for an ACTUAL distro block.

but yeah, dont use a cap, return it and atleast get an everstart max from walmart or something.

X2.

Or if you have to use it run the power from the battery right to the + on the cap, then to the + on the amps, then run the ground from the amp to the cap and ground the cap.
