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.

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.
