1. Since automotive batteries are not designed to deliver the current required by modem car audio systems a capacitor such as this one which is capable of discharging extremely rapidly on demand is a logical addition to your audio system in addition this capacitor can filter out the AC voltage induced in the amplifier s power supply Unchecked this voltage can cause DC noise in the sound system It is recommended to use a capacitor with a minimum of one microfarad 1F for each 1000 watts of amplifier power you can never have too much capacitance for any audio system The 3935 capacitor features a digital voltage display The power capacitor s role When connected to power the capacitor system is generally in standby mode if tha voltage drops below the normal level the capacitor will automatically tum on ensuring a stable voltage and current is provided to the connected amplifier Although the usual concem which motivates a user to install the capacitor system is voltage drops due to a powerful connected amp producing loud bass signals other automotive equipment and accessories can also cause this In any case the capacitor will help to ensure stable voltage for your entertainment system Reverse polarity protection feature H the polarity of the connections to the capacitor is reversed damage to your entertainment of vehicle eleciical system can result To eliminate this threat we have incorporated a relay System within the2.

7. the capacitor will require replacement Wiring Guidelines 1 Keep the positive power wire as short as possible and connect i directly to the amplifier s battery supply cable It is highly recommended to use a high performance distribution block to create a splice in the battery supply cable Do not install a fuse between the capacitor and the amplifier but make sure there is an appropriate fuse in the main supply cable 2 The ground cable for the capacitor should also be as short as possible and connected directly to a good dean bare metal chassis ground point DO NOT ground the capacitor directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable 3 For the above connections use cable of the same or heavier gauge than those which the amplifier uses High performance 4GA or 8GA OFC oxygen free copper cables are a good choice for this application 18GA wire is suitable for the remote tum on connection Chasse vee SUGGESTED WIRING
