Demo402 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) So today in Omaha, Nebraska Sal's pawnshop was having a tent sale, so naturally i stopped by to check out the car audio stuff. I found the 1 Farad capacitor that i have been looking for, and it was only 20 BUCKS! (after i got them to knock off 15 bucks) I thought I knew how to install it but it turns out that i don't so im asking SMD Forums for some help! if anyone would like to help a newbie out it would be greatly appreciated! Thank You. Here's a picture of it. Its an American Legacy 1.0 Farad Capacitor http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j63/cool...pimp/Car007.jpg Edited August 27, 2009 by Demo402 Quote Honda Accord 4 Door Current System - (2) 12'' Mtx Thunder 5500's (1) Alpine Mrp-m1000 @4Ω (1) Pioneer Deck Deh-3500 (1) American Legacy 1.0 Farad Capacitor (1) Stinger Voltage Meter (Blue) Big 3 Knu 1/0 Box 3.4^3@37hz Youtube.

Beanz Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Do you have any voltage drop in your system?if you do then that cap is useless pretty much Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

Demo402 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 It's a used cap, and i don't know what a charging card is. I'm guessing like a manual for it Quote Honda Accord 4 Door Current System - (2) 12'' Mtx Thunder 5500's (1) Alpine Mrp-m1000 @4Ω (1) Pioneer Deck Deh-3500 (1) American Legacy 1.0 Farad Capacitor (1) Stinger Voltage Meter (Blue) Big 3 Knu 1/0 Box 3.4^3@37hz Youtube.
