Planet Audio PC10F 10 Farad Car Capacitor For Energy Storage To Enhance Bass Demand From Audio System

Description

Wiring Diagram View largerWhat Is A Capacitor?A capacitor is a passive two
terminal electrical component (a component that consumes but does not produce
energy). In building a sound system for your car, you would want to use a
capacitor for a couple of different reasons.Why Do I need One?The main reason
a capacitor is recommended is for power reserve. The capacitor stores energy
and releases it very quickly to the amplifier(s). How does this help? It’s
very simple: Music is dynamic, no matter what type you listen to. The dynamics
in musical content can very quickly transition from soft voices to thundering
bass notes. These moments are where the benefit of having a capacitor is
heard. The amplifier requires a constant amount of steady power to function
efficiently and power the speakers. A capacitor will keep the power going to
the amplifier consistent and stabilized, which means a better sounding system.
Important: The remote output of the head unit is connected to the remote turn
on of the capacitor. The capacitor will not function if the remote wire is not
connected to your head unit.SpecificationsThree digit, spuer bright blue LED

2-11/16”Charging The Capacitor View largerCharging The CapacitorFirst, make
sure that all the connections according to the diagrams in the instruction
manual are correct. Pick up the cable coming from the positive (+) battery
terminal. Place the supplied charging resistor between the end of this cable
and the positive terminal of the capacitor. The capacitor will begin charging.
Charging generally takes five to 60 seconds. During charging, the voltage
shown in the three digit display will rise rapidly, then slow as it approaches
the voltage of your vehicle’s battery. When fully charged, the display voltage
will stop rising. If you have a voltmeter, you can first measure the voltage
of your car battery. Then you will know with accuracy that the capacitor is
fully charged. Caution: During charging, the resistor will become hot. This is
normal, but exercise caution during the charging process. After charging is
complete, remove the resistor from the incoming positive cable, and
immediately connect it to the positive terminal of the capacitor.
