hey i have a question can someone please describe all the connectionms i need to hook up my car battery to an after market battery which connects to 2 power caps which will run to 2 amps

you don't need caps they're useless as far as the second battery goes just wire the + of the other battery to the + of the batt and then ground the batt to a ground.

yea, if you're going for SPL (boom) then the caps will be useless. They are only good if you like to listen to real recorded music .... i.e. not electronically produced bass tones.

okay well i have the caps might as well hook them up. how do i wire this now do i run the wire from my engine battery through an inline fuse to the battery in the back then put another fuse from that battery to the caps or is that unesssacery.

[PaulD]

do NOT fuse caps. Run a wire from the 2nd battery + terminal to the + term on the cap, then from the + term on the cap to the amp. Wire the - term on the cap to chassis gound.

where exactly are you sposed to ground your amp? ive got mine grounded to the back of the trunk, but it seems to be causing feed back, are there special locations made for being grounded on?

[PaulD]

The grounding point needs to be bare metal ....... take the screw/bolt out and sand it down thoroughly
