Hey all....I have had my capacitor hooked up this way for the last year now and have had no issues but after seeing some installation demostrations and some YouTube vids...I'm wondering if I might have it hooked up wrong? I followed the diagram on the capacitor box but this is the way I have it...
I have my main power wire coming from the battery to my fuse holder and fuse, to my distribution block, from the block to the capacitor, and finally from the capacitor to the amp....
Now, from what I'm seeing and reading...this is the suggestion given...
Go from your battery to your fuse holder with fuse, then go directly to the capacitor, then to the distribution block, and finally from the block to the amp....
With me going to a distribution block first and then to my cap...Is that the wrong way to do it? Does it make a difference?

Caps are generally useless. Adding ANY resistance between them and the amp makes them less useful. Having the fuse between the cap and the amp would introduce too much resistance.
Having them after the fuse also adds a bit of protection in case the cap shorts (not likely but it could happen).
