How do I charge it? Can I just use a wire?

Oh okay, cool. This is what I figured. What if I'm adding another capacitor that hasn't been charged?

Not in the budget right now, and can't justify an additional battery for 1,000 RMS.

if u r adding one that hasnt been charged before its time for u to go buy a new resistor

I don't know why this one doesn't come with one, didn't see it until after I ordered it.
Just a random resistor in electronics though?

just needs to be a 1k ohm resistor that u can use inline to the capacitor it the power line. also gonna need a multimeter to measure when the capacitor hits 12v so u can take the resistor out and run it just like u normaly would

u dont need a resistor lol.. just take the fuse out, hook it up and put the fuse back in. u will see sparks but nothing else.

Most caps have a display...

/e why use two caps? why not get rid of both and get a bigger one?
