How Do You Charge A Car Audio Capacitor?
Audio systems in most automobiles require less power than the automotive charging system is capable of generating. However, audio systems which draw more than 100 watts per channel may siphon power from other accessories, such as headlights, when these systems are operated at night. One way to keep an audio system from siphoning power from other devices is to use a large (500 mF to 1F) audio capacitor. Wiring this capacitor in a parallel circuit with the battery will charge the capacitor and smooth out any power fluctuations an audio system may cause. Using an adjustable wrench, disconnect the battery terminal connectors from the battery. Snip the positive battery terminal connector off the battery cable and strip 1/2-inch of insulation from the battery cable. Cut two pieces of electrical wire and strip 1/2-inch of insulation from the ends of each wire. Twist together one end of the first wire with the stripped end of the positive battery cable. Loosen the top bolts of the first replac
