INSTALLATION

Make sure your car audio

system is properly fused. You

should have a system fuse for all

components . the fuse should be

installed within 18 inches of the

battery. Connect this fused powerwire

to the positive terminal. Use another wire

from the positive terminal to your

amplifer(s) positive supply terminal . The

ground wire from the amplifier(s) should be
connected to the capacitors negative terminal .

A single wire from the capacitor's negative
terminal should be connected to your vehicle's
chassis ground. This completes the wiring. SEE
INSTALLATION DIAGRAM. Note : Capacitors are most
effective when there is a 18' (0.5m) or less of wire
between the cap and the amplifier(s).

housing is deformed during
installation, many layers of foil material may be damaged inside the capacitor and it
should not be installed. Install in a safe, dry location within 18'(0.5m) of the amplifier.
Observe correct polarity: positive terminal is marked with a (+) symbol, negative terminal
is not marked. Do not block the vent plug on top of cap. If the capacitor is wired in reverse
of marking on the cap top the electrolytic fluid inside the capacitor will vent, possibly causing
damage to the interior of your vehicle,

cap has stripped screws or terminals)

WHAT DO YOU NEED A CAPACITOR FOR?

Today's car audio amplifiers need huge amounts of current. Often the
vehicle's electrical system is unable to provide it. With your car's air
conditioner running. the factory charging system may already be operating
at 70% of full capacity. When a big bass note hits, or you are playing your
system very loud, there may not be enough energy to reproduce all of the
music making it to your system and you coming up short.

A capacitor stores current. Its super low internal resistance allows it to give
up that current extremely fast. As quick as your amplifier needs current a
PY L E capacitor can provide it. Plus, as quick it discharges, it will
recharge, ready for the big hit! Get all the sound possible from your system!

CHARGING
NOTE: THE CAPACITOR MUST BE CHARGED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!
The supplied charging bulb (included in the package) is used when initially
charging the cap. The charging process is accomplished by connecting
the charging bulb in series between the battery's positive post and the
capacitors positive terminal. (Please refer to the diagram below). It
is very important to follow this process to eliminate the possibility of
damaging the cap/battery, and other audio devices. The charging
process is complete when the voltage of the capacitor reaches
the same voltage as your vehicle's battery. This process will
take a matter of seconds to complete. You can use a voltage
meter to check the voltage across your battery and cap.
When the voltages are the same
on both (cap and battery), the cap
has been fully charged . The
charging bulb actually eliminates
the need for the volt meter , when
the cap is fully charged (cap and
battery have same voltage) the
bulb will go either dim or fully out.

DISCHARGING
The capacitor must be discharged when
the capacitor is removed from
the system. Place the same bulb
which was used in charging across the
terminals of the capacitor to
eliminate the stored power. The
pacitor will be fully discharged
within a few seconds noted by
the bulb going out . It is now
safe to store your capacitor.
