Capacitor hook up question., XTREME 1.25 FARAD Options

[Snyper94GT]

I purchased an XTREME 1.25 FARAD capacitor. Upon opening the package I noticed that the capacitor had a + and - connection point. Most smaller capacitors only had a + in and a + out that I'd seen (never seen one for a system before). The directions were a bit confusing. Here's how I hooked it up a positive (direct feed from battery) coming in to the positive and a ground going to the -. I then took a connection from my amp which was the + lead to my amp and hooked it to the + part of the capacitor. I let it charge the capacitor and then started up my car. Yet now my lights still dim as if it's not even getting a charge reserve from the capacitor. Any idea's on if the is right or not. Any help would be great thanks!

It sounds like you have it hooked up right. Positive to the cap, then a wire from positive on the cap to the amp's pos, ground both to the same point.
If the headlights are still dimming try getting a larger negative cable for the battery(along with 'better than stock' terminals) and/or double check the ground on the amp/cap.
