You can shock the sh!t outta yerself and blow yer amps! But if you do it carefully and make sure to watch the power wires since the caps have I think 12 Volts of juice in them already.

Just follow the directions, and use the supplied resistor to charge the cap before hooking it straight up to the power system. \'94 Cobra #4963/5009, black on black, not quite stock Formerly owned a black '00 SVT, #1972 Join the SVTOA!
