And as an answer to all the others about why you should use the Caps'

The Caps act as an additional battery or storage source. Batteries and alternator at time may not be able to provide a constant enough source ofpower to your system epecially when your subs are driving hard. The cap provides that extra reserve "juice" needed during those moments.


Just my 2 cents..

 

Thank you Grumpee, that is exactly what I was looking for. I just ran to Circuit City to see if they could help me out. One of their installers handed me a ton of resistors. I wasn't going to "jump" the gun, was more or less looking for help in figuring out how to do it safely (in regards to the electronics).

I know that wiring resistors in parallel yields the equation (R1XR2)/(R1+R2) = R3. R = Resistor. I know which resistors are which Ohm, but what I cannot figure out is where exactly I stick the resistor to charge the Capacitor. I'm assuming (for now) that it would be between the power cable and the (+) positive side of the capacitor. Once the (-) ground is hooked up, a charge would begin to flow at the limited rate due to the capacitor.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

 

I think you got the idea, but I would've double checked with the installers at Circuit City on how to hook it up.
