WHAT DO YOU NEED A CAPACITOR FOR?

Today's IIr 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 him, 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
P Y 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!

CHARGIN G
NOTE: THE CAPACITOR MUST BE CHARGED PRIOR TO INSTALLATIONI
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
capacitor's 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 die/ices. 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.

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 power
wire 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 capacitor's negative
terminal . A single wire from the capacitors
negative terminal should be oon nected to your
vehicles 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).

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
capacitor will be fully discharged
within a few seconds noted by
the bulb going out. It is now
safe to store your capacitor.

Wm Large electrolytic
m"; capacitors do not like heat,
oil, grease, water, or
mistreatment. If the capacitor
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 me capacitor will vent,
possibly causing damage to the interior of your vehicle.

cap has stripped screws or terminals)
