Caps are easy to install. I’m assuming your amp is already hooked up correctly.
1) Take the power lead from the amp out, connect it to the Positive terminal on the cap.
2) Add a power wire from the positive terminal on the cap to the positive terminal on the amp.
3) Make a ground wire from the cap to a good ground point. It can be the same place your amp is grounded.
Done.
The only reason you would use the D block is if you have multiple amps. In that case place the D block after the cap, with power wires from the D block to each amp.
i have got a few questions for you first
how many amps have you got?
how much rms are they pumping out?
if you have ansered 3 amps or less (you wont need a cap)
if the amps are pumping out under 2000w rms (you wont need a cap)
