[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1107678, member: 561023"] Though you'll likely get blasted pretty good for even starting a thread dealing with capacitors lemme see can I answer your actual question. It's dependant on the specific cap you have. Most caps need to be 'charged' (filled, however you wanna look at it) prior to final installation. The one I have in a closet is self-charging but seemingly those are the minority. If you have one that needs charging you should have gotten a charging bulb or card with the cap. Follow the instructions on that to charge it. Beyond that it's a matter of hooking the positive connection on the cap to your battery's + post and then grounding it (ground it after the pos. is connected) then whatever amp you're wanting the cap for connect its positive input to the positive terminal on the cap.
