unless you have a capacitor for every 1WATT of power it doh make sense
cuz when the capacitor discharges and has to recharge, it will just be another load on the system

in order of importance
1) do a "big three upgrade"
2) upgrade the alternator definitely :lol:

3) and battery if necessary

you can use the 90amp alternator from the qg e-throttle engines as a bolt on upgrade on your car. Price is about 4-500 so its a decent economy upgrade for small music.

big three works good as well.

this ^^^

also a next option would be to replace batteries with a deep cycle battery, (like optima, etc)

its a bandage on a broken leg fix dude... once ur lights dimming there is a deeper problem that needs to be addresed first.

as the guys said ... big three then a higher amp alt.

The strength of any mobile audio system, weather big or small.. is the electrical system...

u r Alt for one need upgrading, even changing and also the big 3 upgrade will assist.

Ruffneck_12 was spot on: upgrade alternator and as for the big three upgrade :
Use some 1/0 gauge wire and run wires from:
Positive from battery to positive from alternator
Negative from battery to ground
Engine block to ground

The Dimming should now stop..

I donno....I jus curious....why 1/0 with a 60A alternator? 4awg will do just fine and depending on the brand, 8awg might work.

Compare the price of 0awg as opposed to 8awg.

Now, consider how many people actually upgrade to a HO alt that actually puts out enough current to warrant the need for 0awg.
6 feet of 4awg will accommodate 200A of current fyi.
