How to hook up a capacitor

Well in parallel, a cap is acting solely as a storage facility, and with it's tiny capacity and quick cycles, it's doing nothing for voltage; which pertains more to the OP than your fact that it can't harm the system. I never said it would harm the system, I simply stated it would make for lengthier draws. Electricity is funny in the fact that it takes all avenues it can to try to equalize POTENTIAL. With that said, even in parallel, the cap has a storage facility, that once emptied needs to be filled and the stored up potential and capacity; will attempt at reconciling itself across the entire circuit. Your () definition of potential is only part true, as potential is not only voltage, but the total energy difference. This takes into account both voltage (the force of electricity), the amperage (the amount of electricity that can flow at any given time) and the wattage (the amount of power the battery has, and the consuming facilities need). Again, electricity is constantly in an attempt at levelling all of these parts at all times. Therefore, a capacitor has a negative effect on the state of your system, unless that tiny amount of storage is the break point between you having a net loss of energy or the ability for your storage to hold off the consuming facility long enough for generation to up its pace. Still, more than likely, the best (only) option, is to increase generation in the form of a HO alternator.
You are literally just making things up in an attempt to have a coherent thought. You made a statement. It was wrong. I proved it. Get over it. Coming in here and making things up to save face, is not actually helping you save face. Just learn something and stfu already.

Voltage = potential. All of those other things you threw in there are bs. There are multiple places online you and anyone can look this stuff up and find in just a matter of seconds how horribly wrong you are. Make one more ignorant, lying, bs statement like that and I'll do it just to put a stop to it. I'm not even asking you to admit you don't know what you're talking about. You've already done that by lying about it. Just stop posting. It's sad.

Ah screw it. Here's a good one. http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/voltage.htm

"The proper name for voltage is potential difference or p.d. for short, but this term is rarely used in electronics."

It's rarely used in electronics because the term voltage sums it up and is shorter.

 
It harms my pocket book by wasting money that I could have spent on something more useful for my system, thus harming my system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
You run kenwood subs guy. Don't tell me about wasting money on something not useful for your system.

 
Wow much bs in here and ecracknet just leave this forum and go to your please you are not the end all be all and quit acting like you are.
Quite the hypocrite. I'm helping these guys. They don't know what they are talking about and I'm informing them. You have no authority here either.... so don't act like you do by telling me to leave.

 
Telling you to leave cause your a **** plan and simple if I wasn't on my phone I would set your *** straight as well as your are only partially right in your own statements as there is what someone writes and what actually works. In the real work many factors come into play that can not and will not be duplicated in a lab so let's leave it at that for the time being. Just quite being a douche is all.

Yeah... you'd set me straight if..... you knew what you were talking about. I'm 100% right in what I'm talking about. Lol. Prove me wrong or stop being a ****. I'm not being a douche. I told people they were wrong. They came after me. I proved it. End of discussion. You call me a douche and then act like a douche yourself. You're nothing but a hypocrite... and since you think I'm wrong you're an ignorant hyprocrite. Lol umadbro?

Is that suppose to be some sort of insult? For the $$ my Kenwood subs sound just fine tyvm.

Man you're being awfully grumpy today considering what I posted was an obvious joke, but you had to try and insult me for some unknown reason.

If everyone else is joking why is it so out of line to assume I was too?

I will be on a computer later tonight and show you and no no douche her just calling it how I see another ee. Or want to be ee with his head up his ***. Caps were made with the best intentions and in the perfect work would work great guess what the worlds not perfect neither are peoples installs.

 
Wow lets have a pissing match. I have 2 vehicles 2 setups 1 with cap 1 without. The one with a cap had dimming issues until the cap went in. Not saying the cap is increasing my voltage but the voltage seems to stay closer to 13 v under load than before installation. I use it primarily for its digital voltage readings but seems to help in this application.

Yeah, I grow up in the electricity business, I'm in the electricity business, I explain to people daily about the workings of electricity, go to conventions explaining the higher intricacies of electricity; but I'm making stuff up.

And you're the one that always resorts to personal attacks when anyone disagrees with you on a non personal subject. Who's the sad one?
