2 threads with similar questions and still no desire to say exactly what it is you are doing... but when given answers you discard them because you don't understand the answers... you have the ability to seriously hurt yourself and never know why. If you are trying do damage yourself or others you are on the path... I am assuming what you are doing is evil or mischievous... so I guess I am in (laughing a nervous laugh)

I think your questions are more 'mechanical' in nature as you are developing a system so I am going into basic circuit design. as stated an amp is a gain stage for the incoming signal from the RCA connector. The amp is an electrical machine so it consumes DC power and converts it to AC to power speakers it does not create power. The power to the amp comes from the DC power line, the DC power line gets power from your battery and alternator. The battery makes power from chemical reactions, the alternator converts rotational energy from the engine to electrical energy. Energy is converted from one form to another in the system.

PS from the other thread your battery is junk, you either aren't charging it or you have shorted it out too many times

it comes from the battery wich is being recharge by the alternator

HU head unit.

Now stop what you are doing before you fry your *****.

you have no clue what you are doing... the caps would do no better than the battery.... your current is limited by the resistance and inductance of the coil/wire you are using....STOP NOW.. stop wasting money... get some advice...and Dont ask here again...

repeated shorting of the caps to discharge could indeed damage them...
