Direct Connect Power Capacitor?

[tuck05 10+ year member]

I picked up one of the ZRS-10's in the fs section. The amp accepts 4 gauge power and ground wire. The amp also has the two terminals where you can direct connect a capacitor. Say I ran the 0 gauge into a distro block with 2 runs of 4 gauge then going to the amp. One wire to the batt and one to the pos of the capacitor connection. My question is; can I hook up another power and ground wire to the direct connect power capacitor terminals? Or, is this solely for the connection of a capacitor?

if it has two inputs its probobly for double runs of power and ground, not necessarily for a capacitor

Yeah it says "Direct Connect Power Capacitor" right above the terminals so I wasn't sure if they could be used for an additional power and ground wire.

A unique feature of the Cadence Type RS amplifiers, is their direct capacitor connection to the

amplifier's internal power supply. As you know, the speed in which the reserve capacity of any

stiffening capacitors reaching the amplifier's power supply is critical. You want this reserve

voltage to be immediately available upon your amps hitting a bass note. Our terminal

connection puts the negative of the capacitor in direct line with the negative terminals of the

power supply MosFET's and the positive of the capacitor with the center tap of the power

supply transformer coil. In essence, it's like your amplifier having its own personal battery.

That is from the manual regarding the capacitor connection. I assume I can do as planned running the 0 gauge into 2 runs of 4.
