You wire to a capacitor like how you would wire to a battery though I hope you're not using the cap to help with poor electrical.

does make a cool volt meter though

Yeah, but when you have shit electrical, it hurts the electrical even more, it's like putting a bandaid on a 1 inch deep cut

band aids are for wussies. i use c16 racing fuel super glue and duct tape

should i do the big three rather then the cap? how does one know if the electrical is crap?

i used to be running at 400 watts rms with a soundstream amp and then that hit the fan.. so i upgraded too this this 1300 watt at 2 ohm amp.. and the capicator has no 0 gauge hook up and has a resistor im supposed to wire in with it?

and at the 400 watt rms nothing dimmed unless the car wasnt running but just in on position and then it would just dim the radio light a little and the console one

my buddy asured me that the cap was the way to go sense i wasnt running that much power,, is the big three really going to be that much more beneficial then just adding the capacitor? or is there any way to tell how my electric stuff will handle in my car...? concerned that i have gone the wrong route in what im going to be installing.. any input would be greatly appreciated..

doing the big 3 in zero gauge never hurts tho. and when you hook up your amp do not ground it to the cap. you have to ground it seperate. the resistor is not installed with the cap. you just use that to charge it. as far as wiring goes on your subs try going to the12volt.com they have wiring diagrams on there. ive used caps alot in lower watt systems and they always seem to work ok. but alot of people trash on them. while i will say that extra batteries are alot better the cap is an ok cheaper alternative for anything around 1000 rms. i would get another battery or power cell before to much longer tho just to be safe.
