Ok, I didn't charge it. I never knew you had too... My cap is about 9-11 inches I couldn't get 8 inches bud to tight of a fit behind the seat. I grounded the cap with monster cable then I ran the wire from the batt. in then hooked up the wire from my amp. after all that was done. I hooked my batt. back up and no music it showed 12.0 volts and with my music up it was bouncing around 11.36-11.69 or so. How do I charge it I thought thats were the volt ange is suppose to be. My bro gave it to me a long time ago and had no intructions or no research on it

A car audio amp works in the following way.
The 12 DC volts comes into the amp.
Next: the voltage gets electronical chopped and converted into AC- This is necessary because only AC can be transformed into another higher needed voltage.
After the transformation you have a voltage around 40 to 50V inside the amp. This voltage is needed to drive the amplifier and to get the needed power output.
This is also one of the reason an amp gets so hot. There is a lot of heat loss during the transformation of the voltage and in the power stages.
Without that transformation your output would be around 10 to 20 W-thats it.
The problem is: the lower the input voltage(12V)- the lower or instable is the output.
This is the main reason, why you use those huge, thick power cables.
To have a low voltage drop and to be able to transfer lots of current.
