    how to install a cap:
    take ur cap find out where u want to put it
    the closer to the amp the better
    you use what ever size wire you have running from your battery(or fuse relay or wherever)
    take the wire that runs from the battery to the amp and put it on the positive side of the cap, then take wire the same size and run it from the positive side of the cap to the amp
    then screw the screw down over the two wires making sure theres a good connection
    take your ground...hook it up to a good peice of metal ground, then hook up your ground to the cap...then the cap to the amp
    then take ur radio wire(The one that turns the amp on and off with the radio)
    run it to the cap...then to the amp
    before you do all that make sure the cap is charged
    charging instructions come with it
    i think you have it to charge it within 24 hrs of installing it or somewhere around there
