WARNING!!! 

     Before making or breaking any electrical connections, please 

make sure to read the following instructions on how to properly 

charge and discharge the capacitor. Not following the charge / dis-

charge instructions can lead to permanent damage to the capacitor, 

which is not covered under the manufacturer warranty.

     For maximum performance, the capacitor should be installed as close 

to your amplifier(s) as possible. The ideal location is one which allows for 

short wiring runs while keeping the capacitors somewhat isolated from 

the heat created by the amplifier system. The positive (+) power wire 

should be kept as short as possible and be connected to the amplifier’s 

battery supply input. We recommend that a high performance distribution 

block be used to create a splice into this cable (see Fig. 1). You may also 

use the capacitor itself as a distribution block by adding multiple power 

wires to the terminals located on the top of the capacitor. 

     No fuses should be installed in the wire between the capacitor and the 

amplifier system (make sure there is an appropriate fuse at the battery 

in the main power supply cable). The ground cable for the capacitor 

should also be made as short as possible and be connected directly to 

the vehicle chassis at a bare metal location. Do not grounf the capacitor 

directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable. The capcitor and 

all other components in the system should be grounded using separate 

ground cables. It is ok to ground them to the same point on the chassis or 

frame, just not connected directly to eachother. (see Fig. 1) The positive 

(+) and negative (-) wires for the capacitor should be the same gauge as 

the amplifier’s power and ground cables.
