I took the ground from the amp. I wired it how it says in the manual below. (but with the red power cable)

im not use to that wiring

what is do is run the + wire from batt to the + input to the capacitor, then grab another piece of + wire and run it to + input in amp.. and for ground i i get - wire from body to capacitor and grab another piece of - wire to - input in amp

you should try this

the color don't matter along as it is strictly for ground and its not connected in the + terminals

Would that make a bigger difference? Did I do it wrong at all?

Do I have to let the capacitor charge or something?

Would that help at all? Currently going to the amp i'm using 4 gauge wiring.
