Farad Capacitor HELP

Question

i have a Rockford Fosgate RFC1D 1 Farad Digital Capacitor

I have a 0/1 gauge amp wire kit. I think i can cut the power cable to do all the stuff but the ground wire is not big enough. Does it matter what gauge the ground wire is? can i use like an 8 gauge ground wire to connect my amp to the chasis does it really matter? should i use the 0/1 ground wire for the capacitor or the amp? help needed please

Answer 1

i always use the same gauge wire for your ground as you did for your power wire, (it can be a little thinner (one gauge lower) because its not as long but you will notice a difference)

Answer 2

you should match your wire sizes. but like before as long as it is a clean mount then there shouldnt be a problem as long as the wire isnt tiny. you shouldn't go any smaller than recomended for the amp

Answer 3

size is not as important as the quality of the ground. you want a good clean surface and make sure it is a chassis ground. seat mounting bolts or body mounting bolts would be a good place to start.
