power cap wiring

[jonny mac]

i have a power cap 1.0, 1800watt first austria amp and 2 jbl subs, i needed the power cap to power them correctly,

the way i wired it all was a join at the wire from the batter to a connector block with the power cap and amp wire in one connector.

someone told me i should have it wire to power cap from battery, then power wire from power cap to amp??

should have cable from battery, via fuse, to power cap, then to amp.

well without the power cap i can only power one of my subs and when i plug in the 2nd one they go funny and pretty much underpowered....

i will also 3rd it.lol.id suggest a metal pole rather than a stick though,get a higher power battery and a stronger alternator

Failing that, second battery to power the ICE

I have to concur with the others, capacitors are a complete waste of time. They do look nice though. Best bet is a higher powered alternator/battery.

but it only cost £30

30 quid for a something that will do nothing,might aswell have put the money on the lottery
