How to Install an Audio Capacitor in a Car

This will explain how to add a car audio capacitor for your mobile audio system.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Capacitor
• Wire Cutters
• Phillips Head Screw Driver

1. Start by disonnecting your battery cables from the battery. Assuming you already have an amp and your other stereo components.
2. Now you will want to mount your audio capacitor near your amp, its doesnt have to be extremly close, however, you will need to connect the two.
3. You can now disconnect the power and ground from the amp, and connect them to the cap, if you have enough extra wire you can cut 2 short pieces to run back to the amp from the cap, or you may need to use some fresh wire.
4. Once the cables are hooked to the cap on the input side, connect another power and ground from the output side, back over to the amp where you originally disconnected the cables from, once this is done, hook your battery terminals back up, and you are good to go! You 1, Cap 0!

Tips & Warnings

• You can run caps in a series if you have powerful amps requiring more than 1 cap.
• Make sure everything is mounted securely and safely
