Capacitor Introduction When installed properly, your new stiffening capacitor will provide years of dependable service. There are many benefits of adding a stiffening capacitor. The most significant benefit is the capacitors ability to improve bass performance in your sound system. This is possible due to the voltage stabilizing effects of the capacitor.

Charging WARNING!!! Before making or breaking any electrical connections, please make sure to read the following instructions on how to properly charge and discharge the capacitor. Not following the charge / discharge instructions can lead to permanent damage to the capacitor, which is not covered under the manufacturer warranty. Charging After mounting the capacitor in its final position, attach the ground to the capacitor and the chassis grounding location.

Discharging Discharging If you plan to store your vehicle or plan on not using the system for a long period of time, we suggest to remove the capacitor. Anytime you disconnect the capacitor's power wire from the battery, you need to properly discharge the capacitor. This is done by using the same supplied bulb as you used for charging the capacitor.
Installation and Mounting For maximum performance, the capacitor should be installed as close to your amplifier(s) as possible. The ideal location is one which allows for short wiring runs while keeping the capacitors somewhat isolated from the heat created by the amplifier system. The positive (+) power wire should be kept as short as possible and be connected to the amplifier's battery supply input.
Troubleshooting Should you encounter a problem with your capacitor, you can follow the steps below to make sure that it is working properly. 1. Follow all power (+) and ground (-) connections to and from the capacitor. Make sure there are no kinks in the wire and no cuts either. If there is a problem in the wiring, make sure to use new wire and place the wire in a good location where it will not be roughed up and abused.
