I need Help Wiring a Capacitor.

Ok, I just got a 3.0 Power accoustic Cap from sonicelectronix.com and I am wondering how to installl. I have 21 amps, speakers and sub and they are running of a D-block. The book that came with it made as much sense as trying to win a foot race if your in a wheelchair. anyways what do i connect my cables to? I figured from d-block 2 cap and cap 2 amp, and then give the cap its own ground? (as the manual said do not use the amp ground). or can i just run my main power cable through cab before d-block and power both amps?

You have 21 amps? Thats a typo right? Im guessing two amps. You dont need a distro block, you can split the wires from the cap. Run power wire to cap, then cap to amps. I always thought you can use the same ground for however many thing you want as long as it is a solid ground. someone correct me if im wrong.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can use the same ground; it all flows to the same place. What he meant was not connecting the cap ground to the actual ground input of the amp.

Here's a diagram; no need for a D-Block. You can substitute the big black wire going back to the negative on the battery with a ground anywhere.
