How to wire a capacitor with 2 amps?

[crfrider 10+ year member]

a yes i have a capacitor i was going to just run to my sub amp, how would i wire it up with also another amp, a 2 amp setup?

Caps are USELESS!

Happy? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

if you must use it run ur power from ur batt to cap then to ur amp/amps but caps do hardly anything they are useless throw it away and get a batt

You don't. Perhaps you should start a thread telling us what you have and ask what you should do with your electrical.

But if you must, hot glue should work fine.

Just connect it to the same place as your distribution blocks. It will go to both amps.

Can we get a Cap. sticky already? I'm getting tired of watching people getting

flamed for getting them...

caps are not uselss

i used to have 2 1frd caps on a hifonics zues 900w and a soundstream ref500 when the caps where not in series with the battery up front the bass would sound like sh*t

It could have been i was only using 4guage wire for that much current but still it helped.

i think saying they dont work isnt fair as they work if your application fits the need for them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

caps are 99% useless. is that better.

spend your money where its worth it. get a nice battery instead

Of course capacitors help with any system with real power. My friend has 8.6 FARADS +++ of caps which helped dramatically to stop dimming the lights + voltage for his 2 12" P3 Rockford Fosgate subs + approx 2000 Watts RMS amplifiers power, but a little more capacitance will help. By the way the van already has 2 batteries, one of which is a deep cycle marine located right at amplifiers, and the capacitance helped much more to provide the power for the real strong + long low freq. notes.

The capacitors are in parallel to the amps power input close to amplifiers location.

Hahaha 1 ur a moron for bumping a old thread with a retarted statement. 2 yea true they can be of use if it's like a 50 farad then it's pretty much a battery in a sense. But why waste money on them when you can just get a battery for aorund the same price

Why would i spend $120 or so for a crap cap when I can buy a G31 YT or a Oddessy pc 1750 for $100 ea?
