[QUOTE="DJDroc22, post: 8248306, member: 658921"] Hey everyone! Okay jumping right into it. I bought a Power Acoustik 5 Farad capacitor and watched plenty of videos and diagrams so I knew I was hooking it up right. First of all i took out my fuse under the hood so theres no power.I installed the capacitor with in 18" inches of amp. Connected my ground cable to my amp mount bolt which I have cleaned of any paint. I ran my power wire from my amp to the capacitor and then from there back to the amp. Everything should be golden. So I grab the resistor my cap came with and drop it into the fuse holder and I feel it get hot but I get no power to my cap or amp. By the way this is now my 2nd cap. I sent the first one back cuz I figured it was defective. Also I noticed when i was bolting in my positive wire to my cap it sparked a little bit when I first touched it. Buuut I didn't have the fuse in at all so there should be zero power..? Could there be something wrong there? Swing away at this cuz I'm gonna feel stupid sending back another cap for a 3rd try. Thank you guys!! [/QUOTE]
