i need to know the basic set up????

thanks

 

hope that helps.

 

so you're saying it goes between the dist. block (if applicable) and the amp, right?

 

between distribution block and battery.

 

It is better to have a separate ground for the amp and the cap. Only the Positive wire should go from the cap to the amp. DO NOT put a fuse between the cap and the amp. Make sure to charge the cap before hookup so there are no sparks when the connection is made. It will leave a burn bark on the gold plating, and be careful not to overtighten the screws on the cap. They strip very easily, and are a pain in the A$$ to fix.

 

does the ground have to go back to the battery from the cap??? or should i just ground it anywhere????? and how do i charge the cap before i put it in?????

 

you can charge it with a trickle charger. like the ones that charge your car battery overnight.

 

I usually charge my cap with an old test light, but it should come with a resistor. And the best way to ground it would be to find a good solid piece of metal, usually near some factory weld marks, sand a small spot down to bare metal, and drill a 1/4 inch hole. Then use a stainless steel nut, bolt and lockwasher to secure it through the ring connector.
