i'm getting ready for when my new subs arrive by mounting my amp to the box i had built.

what i was wondering is does it matter which way i have the capacitor? i'm leaning towards it doesn't matter as most caps are upside down in amps, etc. (of course pending the way you have the amp positioned)


i would mount it with the leads up, but i don't have any extra wire or terminals. i only have a 1 foot piece from before.


thanks.

 

Yes it must always point north. Kidding, it really doesn't matter.

 

got it mounted, going to run the speaker wire next then wait for the subs to arrive, suppose to be friday.


even with the cap facing down i had to solder on a 3/8" refrigeration copper tube smashed flat to the end to make it work.

i would have put the cap closer, but i wanted space in case the power cable wasn't long enough but it was already mounted so w/e it's hooked up

 

Nice and clean

 

Your better off mounting it here:

Your cap is upside down.

 

Your box looks like a trunk luggage.

 

i know i know, caps are no good, but until my alternator dies i will use it then i will get a HO alt. or get a stock alt and a second battery.

also it's my brothers cap so i didn't pay anything for it.
