I have hooked up a aftermarket radio and amp set up. Im currently running a 300w amp to 2 12's and have a 1/2 farot cap that is in good condition and is fully charged. Now when I leave my car sit for 2 days I got to start it the battery is drained to the point it wont power the car enough to turn over.
Im more sure then not that it has something to do with the way its been wired up but I believe that its set up correctly. My deck was professionally installed and I even made a second check to assure that is was when first assessing this problem to check that the MEM and power wires were connected securely and not leaving the deck running hot at all times causing me to shut it off manually.
I as well when hooking up the amp line assured that they acc wire was hooked up and secured to the amp making sure that they amp shuts off as well when the car is turned off with out having to put a toggle switch in to shut it off.
My conclusion is that it is possibly the capacitor is old and not keeping up the charge it used to and is feeding more then it should or that i may have a bad connection somewhere inbetween. Any help would be greatly appreciated. or could it be that my cap is not large enough and that i need to get a bigger one?
*note - the cap that i have does not have the digital read outs like the newer ones so im having to do all my wattage testing with a voltage reader.
Or would you suggest that i just get a new one?
