yes matt, very good idea... but look at 1farad... 1/2 isnt cost effective

1/2 farad is recommended for 500W and below. That's fine, I'm just going to go with that. I get it for like $35.

go with one, think ahead of time, doesn't matter if you have more "farads"

You're right, might as well go with a One farad. BTW, I know you put your source from the battery to the cap to the amp, but how do I connect the wires from both sources and put it in the cap?

Good choice on the one farad... choose quality though ^^ rockford isnt any good, go to a shop and get a stinger

one goes to battery (+) and then another wire goes to am (+) and then (-) goes to ground... simplest way... use high guage wire for the caps... look at around 0-4

this should help you

capacitors are a waste of money

[GotToyota]

I know how to hook it up wiring wise, I'm just wondering how you connect the power from the amp and the power going to battery together at the positive post of the capacitor. All I see is a thread hole for a bolt. Do they usually come with the accessory needed to connect them?

get wires with a little o thing and then you slide it in and tighten bolt

Yeah, I figured it out Kerosene. I actually just got finished installing everything. Here's a pic:



Tell me what you guys think. I decided to mount the cap itself on the side of the box.

might rattle just a little, put some padding behind the holders possibly some of that window sealing thing just put it so you dont see it

I haven't heard it rattling yet, and I tested it with some hard bass. I'll see if I can hear it and if I can then I'll find some padding to put behind it.

Does everything look good besides that?

[kerosene]

yea ^^ you shoulda hid it though... ^^ put it behind the wheelwell (inside) or that little hole on the left side, the red sjust doesnt fit... but its good though, nice job

[GotToyota]

Nah, I like it beside the box. Plus it's easy to access.

I'd say my setup is offically finished.

Yeah, you're partially right.

But for now, this 10" works great.
