I bought a used cap and it didn't have the mounting sections included. I want to mount the cap on top of the enclosure. what alternative ways can I mount this cylinder shape cap so it sits pretty secure?

Mount it to the inside of a garbage can, lol.

Or uhmmm, maybe under a seat or to the floor/side of the trunk?

I have a trunk plywood floor board...would it be safe to just let it roll around underneath (assuming I wrap the terminals with rubber)?

1. take out of package

2. place directly in toilet

walk to trashcan, open lid, drop cap. inside, close lid, walk away. but if u really wanna use it, get plastic U-Clips that will go around it and mount it that way.

We're not being assholes with the sarcasm... They're all very valid suggestions.

Capacitors have no place in car audio as a voltage regulator. You are MUCH better off selling it and upgrading your stock engine wiring, as well as maybe adding a 2nd battery instead of the cap.

use a long strip of velcro, but get rid of the cap IMO they do more damage than good.

I don't have any experience with caps, but I do know that they ****. Just by reading all of the posts associated with them. For a lil' more cheddar, you can go ahead and throw in a new battery. Like a Yellowtop or something.
