how to wire a Tsunami Car audio capacitor?

Answer 1

The capacitor needs to be wired in parallel with the cars battery. Connect the positive lead from the battery to the positive of the capacitor. Next your capacitor should have come with either a 12volt light bulb or a resistor. (Hopefully a bulb because its easier to tell when the capacitor is charged, its a regular 12 car bulb that any parts store or even a walmart would have) connect the bulb to the ground side of the capacitor and the other end to a wire that has been connected to chassis ground. When you first hook up the bulb the light is bright than it dims out. Once its dim you know its fully charged. Remove the bulb, than connect that ground wire from the chassis ground of the capacitor to the ground side.Than connect the positive lead of the capacitor to the amp (so you will have 2 connections on the positive side and 1 on the ground ). Than your done. No problem.

Answer 2

In addition to the above, have your cap as close as possible electrically to the amp. If you can, keep the ground wire under 18" long.
