Capacitors wireing

[NoviceGuru]

so i am do my first install. i am upgrading my 2 12" rockford p1s to 2 12" alpine type r's.

so of course new amp. i am taking out my current rockford 325.1 mono and putting on the hifonics bx1605 mono. and i ordered a Absolute 4ga amp kit and a boss 2 farad digital capacitor. and so pretty much all i know is how to wire my subs.

can anyone give me clear step by step what to do. where to start. and please just asume i don't know anything so i don't have to keep asking more and more questions.

i really apreciate the help if any. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

are they dual 2 or 4 ohm? hopefully you got 4 ohm to get the most out of that amp. wire them like this.

yes that is what i got and that is exactly how i am going to wire them. that is the part i know. im not sure how to install the amp and cap though. all i know is how to ground the amp and that the cap should be close to the amp

batt to cap, ground cap. where you put the battery to the cap, hook the power wire from amp to the same thing. O and ground your amp

If i said that wrong someone please correct me, hooked up one cap before.

so put the amp power to the cap and not to the bat. and can i ground the cap on the same spot as the amp.

Maybe try to seperate em with a washer but I was always told it wouldnt hurt. But im not a doctor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif.

alright and also with my subs, i have a prefab circiut city box. it is the right size and specs and everything but the air space is divided and they have a terminal for single voice coil. is there a way to wire it at one ohm with out drilling a new hole.
