my capasitor and my stereo were uninstalled by the body shop and when i got my car back i couldn't get the system to sound as good. i have checked the cd player settings the amp setting the connections i can't make it better. my question is do you have to recharge a capasitor.

The capacitor should automatically start charging while ur car is on and running, its basically a battery. Maybe just to make sure, for a day or so drive around with out the amp disconnected to the power cap and see if it helps in recharging it.

Actually my cap had a thing where u needed to charge it, what kind of cap do you have? Try looking it up online.

look for the original piece that charged up the cap in the first place... if u cant find it. hook up your cap normaly again and leave ur radio on ,, chances are it might power up again by itself , mine did once , but that was about 6 months ago.

its a rockford 1 farad cap and it came with a little charging thing i just didn't know if it needed to be recharged.
thanks for the help

yea i got the same, matter of fact i got 2. it should go back to normal soon. did u hook it up yet?
