[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 8248829, member: 629234"] tldr........ assuming you have the conventional round cap, there will be a small screw behind the main terminals that appears to just hold the plastic cap on...... it's actually the remote wire to turn the cap on, just like your amp remote. any cap with a display, or over a few farads will typically be remote activated for a good reason. caps, are not a bad thing, unless you are using it/them to stop voltage drops, then, yah, they are pointless, and only mask the voltage drop, which still happens. i use them on the bench power supply to filter the ac ripple..... your battery normally does this in your car, but not completely....that is what a cap is good for. and, fyi: your amp will work without the main caps, or even rail caps. i do it all the time.
