[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 1102913, member: 556589"] Power flows one way. In the case of a car, it flows negative to positive. Wire the power wire to the positive of the cap and then from that same terminal, run another wire to the amp. Ground the cap and the amp in roughly the same spot. Dont loop the ground. If you want to keep voltage from getting to the cap after a certain peak is reached. You should wire a switch to a voltage meter. when the voltage reaches the desirable amount the switch triggers open. The only problem with this is finding a meter that will send a signal when nominal voltage is reached. hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
