Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.

Wiring 1 farad capacitor?

the capacitor has 2 wires or poles, one is the ground or negative and the other one is the hot or positive... if it is for car audio amp the ground is connected to the chassis and the positive is connected to the battery and to the positive wire of the amp.


How do you charge a amp capacitor?

Very carefully


What are the steps behind installing a car audio capacitor?

First, the capacitor must be charged. Use a voltmeter, and when it reaches 12 volts, the capacitor is charged. The capacitor should then be installed near the car audio amplifier. Keep the negative wire attached to the battery. Then, a ground wire from the negative post on the capacitor to the car's chassis on the chassis's bare metal ground point. Next, the power wire needs to be disconnected from the amplifier's power input. Connect the wire to the positive post on the capacitor. A new power wire needs to be connected from the capacitor's positive post to the amplifier's power input. Install a 16 gauge wire from the capacitor's remote turn-on post to the amplifier's remote input. Then disconnect the negative wire from the battery.


How do you wire a capacitor to a 12 volt car battery to have as much voltage as possible?

I assume you are wiring up one of those obnoxious window-rattling bass thumpers that require a massive capacitor for quick response. Well you can't increase voltage any way you install it and if you did the whole system would fry and set your car on fire. What a capacitor does is store a lot of power that can be released as a massive current surge when the amp wants it. Wire it AS INSTRUCTED by the manufacturer and don't modify the wiring! If you want more power buy a bigger amp. There are no shortcuts.
