Technical FAQs 4

How do I charge my super capacitors?

When charging your super capacitors, you have to take several things into consideration. Some of which we've already covered. 1) If you are using a power supply that is protected by a fuse, you have to limit the charge from the power supply from the power supply to the capacitor bank.

How do I choose a car audio capacitor?

To maximize your car audio system’s performance, it’s essential to choose a capacitor with a capacitance rating that aligns with your system’s power requirements. Car audio capacitors serve as energy storage devices that deliver consistent power to your sound system, particularly during peak power demands, such as those intense bass notes.

How do you wire a car audio capacitor?

There is often a lot of confusion on how to wire a car audio capacitor (a.k.a. power capacitor or Stiffening™ capacitor). There are two terminals on a car audio capacitor. A positive and a negative. The negative terminal is connected to ground. The positive terminal is connected "in-line" with the car audio amplifier +12 volts terminal.

How do you connect a capacitor to a car amplifier?

Start by connecting the positive terminal of the capacitor to the positive input of your amplifier. Use high-quality power wire to establish this connection, ensuring it’s securely fastened for reliable performance. Next, take the ground wire and attach the negative terminal of the capacitor to a solid grounding point in your vehicle.
