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!

I know everyone is gonna get sick of me saying this... but... capacitors don't fix the dimming light problem, they hide it. Your lights dim because the charging system can't keep up. In some cases the cap can make things worse. You need too beef up your charging system. To really fix the problem.

Here are a few things too check.

Make sure you have a good clean ground.
Check your battery cables for corrosion.

Also how big is the fuse in your amp. Our stock alternator is around 70 amps if your trying to pull much more than that a cap won't help.
