i got a Kenwood KAC-8152D 1100w monoblock and i tried to put in a new cap and i think i put it in wrong and now im having problems with my amp, it wont turn on. is this possibly a blown fuse?

possible.

make sure your cap is wired in PARALLEL with the amp.

If you don't know what parallel is, then you shouldn't be installing it.

you dont ground the cap, you wire it in parallel with your amp. the cap+ goes to amp+ and cap- goes to amp-

then how would the amp get power? if i just wire the cap to the + on the amp and the - on the amp, both of my terminals on the cap would be used.

nvm i get what ur sayin
