    powercaps are designed to give back up power to your amp, so if your car is not running the alt, the powercap gives the extra power. this meaning that your amp will have consistant power going to it. (no flat spots)

    the power cap sits after before your amp. what happens is, the power cable feeds the power cap then that feeds the amp, this way the power gets the power first, so when you get a flat spot the power cap feeds extra power to the amp via the + feed to the amp.

    power cable from battery to pos on powercap, neg off powercap to pos on the amp/or to the fused block connector (if running more then one amp)

    you really dont need a power cap unless you are doing a serious install
    more then one amp

    heavy duty battery and a better alternator will be needed too. then a 1 farrad power cap should see you right.
