you can run the ground from the amp to the ground of the cap and just ground the cap, you also don't need a ground to the cap from the batt either

If the cap is new, you know you need to charge it right?

usually it comes with a small light or the cheaper ones just have a little wire thing you use.. basically with wiring it, just go from battery to cap to amp with power, and negative you can run to the same place as the negative of the amp, or connect them, whichever is easier.

you can buy a resistor and put it inplace of your fuse in your fuse holder....when you power it up it will charge slowly that way
