So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Hook Up A Power Capacitor

By Nell Harrison


There is frequently lots of confusion on how to wire a car audio capacitor. There are two terminals on a car audio capacitor. A positive and a negative. The negative terminal is linked to earth. The positive terminal is joined "in-line" with the car audio amplifier 12 volts terminal. Ideally the power capacitor should be as close as possible to the amplifier. In a couple of feet is okay. This keeps any cable losses to a nadir.

An electrical capacitor is placed between your car battery and the car audio amplifier. A power capacitor is utilized to assist to provide large amounts of up-to-date without creating a considerable draw to the vehicle's electrical system. An electrical capacitor will avoid crushing draw in battery and the vehicles alternator and provide maximum performance for the car audio amplifier.

Before you install a capacitor, you need to charge it to stop blowing fuses. Make use of a voltmeter together with a resistor to charge your audio capacitor. You can now wire the capacitor in parallel with your vehicle amplifier.

Remove the inline fuse in the car audio amplifier power cable. Disconnect the power cable in the car audio amplifier using a screwdriver. Slide a terminal connector of the tip of the power wire and secure it to the power wire by squeezing it with the pliers.

Connect a terminal connector to both ends of the 4-gauge ground wire and fasten the ends by squeezing them tight with the pliers. Connect one end of the 4-gauge ground wire to exactly the same place the auto audio amplifier is grounded.

Insert a 1k ohm resistor in the fuse block rather than the automobile amplifier power wire fuse. Join the volt meter for the positive and negative terminals of the power capacitor; the initial reading must be zero volts.

Connect the power wire to the positive side of the power capacitor and observe the volt meter. After the volt meter reaches 12-volts, the power capacitor is correctly charged. Leave the car amplifier power wire joined to the power capacitor.

Set the 4-gauge power wire onto the good side to the power capacitor as well as the car amplifier power wire. Secure them closely with the wrench set.

Connect the 4-gauge power cable to the to the positive terminal to the amp and secure it tight using a screwdriver. Install the first fuse into the fuse block for the car amplifier power cable. In the event your power capacitor includes a digital display, you will see a smaller third final to the energy capacitor; this must be hooked up to the amplifier's distant cable to turn to the digital display.
