You dont need one, get some new batteries, a new HO alt, and do the big 3 electrical upgrade.

You just connect it next to the amp.

ok technically a capacitor store power for your audio system to function without overpowering your car battery. (when lights start dimming etc...) but according to the guys on her it.....does....nothing and its a waste of money. I hear you could buy um.... I think its called a cap killer and do the big 3 and everything would be fine.
