Installation
For the maximum performance, the digital power capacitor should be installed as close to
your amplifier as possible. The ideal location is one that allows short wiring runs while
keeping the capacitor somewhat isolated from the heat created by the amplifier system.
The positive power wire should be kept as short as possible and should be connected to
the amplifier's battery supply cable. We recommend that a High-Performance
Distribution block should be used to create a splice into this cable (as shown on the
picture). The ground cable for the power capacitor should be kept as short as possible and
should be connected directly to the vehicle's chassis at a bare metal surface. Do not
ground the capacitor directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable (see fig).
The positive and the negative wires to the capacitor should have the same gauge as the
amplifier power wires. 4 Ga (21 mm
2
) to 10 Ga (5.3 mm
2
) power cables are a good
choice for this application. If the digital display has remote terminal, remember to
connect it with the remote terminal of your amplifier(s) using 18 to 20 Ga (~1mm)
primary wire.
Connect the Rem terminal to the automatic antenna connector of your car radio. Now
when turning on and off your car radio, the amplifier automatically switches on and off.
