[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1882374, member: 550915"] Farad is a rating of capacitance. Charge is measured in culombs. A Farad is defined as one culomb per volt. For each volt across the terminals of the cap the cap will have one culomb of charge stored. Capacitance is a constant that defines how much charge the cap stores at a given voltage. Ignore the voltage rating on the cap, it doesn't mean anything. You car about capacitance and resistance, nothing else. As far as connection goes, you have a battery in the back. Wire the cap in parallel with the battery and then run power and ground from your rear battery to the amps or distro blocks or what have you. Don't worry about the 4ga outputs, you don't need to use them. [/QUOTE]
