Schoshe 500k micro farad cap

[robbie]

i have a Schoshe 500k micro farad cap

i havn't hooked up one like this before it only has one terminal for + & -

so how would i hook this up from battery to amp with only one terminal for + ?

and will this work with a 1100watt mono-block amp?

hooking up a "cap" is just like wiring a battery. That cap isn't going to do a damn thing for ya though.......

throw it out. not really gonna do much for you...

but basically you just run it in parallel...

as far as hooking up to your battery/amp they're called ring terminals try them sometime they work great lol jp

BUT if your electrical is done right you don't need a cap unless you have 0 voltage drop then all its goning to do is smooth it out

well it was free so yeah i'm not out any money on it, so what could i do to keep my volts up i have 4 12's 2 amps 1100watt and a 400watt

[blackrosetiger]

what amps and what 12's? and what gauge wire do you have run to them? big 3 in 1/0 gauge? what are you running for a battery? what is the amperage on your alt? (Im assuming its stock)Are your wires crimped or soldered?

your kidding right? were u really thinking that "CAP" was going to do anything for you? want to keep volts up, an additional battery first, then a HO alt.....problem solved
