installation 1. Install the capacitor as close as possible to your amplifier. The ideal location is one which allows for short wiring runs, but keeps the capacitors somewhat isolated from any stray heat generated by the amplifier. 2. While the capacitor can be mounted in any position, using the brackets provided, care should be taken to ensure that the venting plug on top of the capacitor is unobstructed. This plug is a pressure relief plug for the capacitor's fluid dielectric material should the current polarity be reversed. If this was occur, fluid will exit from the vent plug (at this point, the capacitor will require replacement). Wiring Guidelines 1. Keep the positive power wire as short as possible, and connect it directly to the amplifier's battery supply cable. It is highly recommended to use a high performance distribution block to create a splice in the battery supply cable. Do not install a fuse between the capacitor and the amplifier, but make sure there is an appropriate fuse in the main supply cable. 2. The ground cable for the capacitor should also be as short as possible, and connected directly to a good, clean bare metal chassis ground point. DO NOT ground the capacitor directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable. 3. For the above connections, use cable of the same or heavier gauge than those which the amplifier uses. High performance 4GA or 8GA 0FC (oxygen free copper) cables are a good choice for this application. 18GA wire is suitable for the remote turn-on connection.

installation
1.
Install
the
capacitor
as
close
as
possible
to
your
amplifier.
The
ideal
location
is
one
which
allows
for
short
wiring
runs,
but
keeps
the
capacitors
somewhat
isolated
from
any
stray
heat
generated
by
the
amplifier.
2.
While
the
capacitor
can
be
mounted
in
any
position,
using
the
brackets
provided,
care
should
be
taken
to
ensure
that
the
venting
plug
on
top
of
the
capacitor
is
unobstructed.
This
plug
is
a
pressure
relief
plug
for
the
capacitor's
fluid
dielectric
material
should
the
current
polarity
be
reversed.
If
this
was
occur,
fluid
will
exit
from
the
vent
plug
(at
this
point,
the
capacitor
will
require
replacement).
Wiring
Guidelines
1.
Keep
the
positive
power
wire
as
short
as
possible,
and
connect
it
directly
to
the
amplifier's
battery
supply
cable.
It
is
highly
recommended
to
use
a
high
performance
distribution
block
to
create
a
splice
in
the
battery
supply
cable.
Do
not
install
a
fuse
between
the
capacitor
and
the
amplifier,
but
make
sure
there
is
an
appropriate
fuse
in
the
main
supply
cable.
2.
The
ground
cable
for
the
capacitor
should
also
be
as
short
as
possible,
and
connected
directly
to
a
good,
clean
bare
metal
chassis
ground
point.
DO
NOT
ground
the
capacitor
directly
to
the
amplifier
ground
terminal
or
ground
cable.
3.
For
the
above
connections,
use
cable
of
the
same
or
heavier
gauge
than
those
which
the
amplifier
uses.
High
performance
4GA
or
8GA
0FC
(oxygen
free
copper)
cables
are
a
good
choice
for
this
application.
18GA
wire
is
suitable
for
the
remote
turn
-on
connection.
