i got a cap with 2 terminals on it, should I:
a) run power to cap then to amp (off 1 cap terminal), run ground from amp to ground and cap to ground seperately?
b) run power to cap and out of cap to amp using 2 termnals, then ground amp?
c) run power to cap then to amp (on 1 cap terminal), then CONNECT the grounds on amp and cap, running a a wire from the cap to the gound itsself (chasis)?

the cap turns on and off by its self, is that normal? like maybe only when i turn the bass up? someon please give me the CORRECT way, yes i goodled it, yes it came with directions, AND it had directions on box, ALL of witch say to do something diff, even the directions in the box dont match up with the ones on the ourside of box, lol.... im using a 4 channel dual bridge amp.... and a brand new deck, brand new wires....... everything

OHH, and should the ground wires be smaller then the power wires (they come smalller in a pack)? is there a reason for that,, cause i used fat on pbotch power and ground....... HELP!?!?!?

Connect the positive to the cap than from the cap positive to the amp , and for the ground, ground them separatly , and yes cap going off and on if normal since there ain't no way to turn it off
