It's not very hard........

Run your amp power wire to the cap, then from the cap to the amp
Run your ground the same way
The cap goes inline to your amp.

However how many watts are you pulling? Cause Acura batteries do suck & just die suddenly. The normal usage out of a stock battery is about 2-3 years.

you dont really need a cap. if your running an amp thats big enough to kill a battery, then you should run the big 3...check out caraudio.com they have a crapload of info on there.
