    decent light dimming with bass, checking grounds?

    I have not checked the drops with the dmm, but the lowest i've seen it drop is to 12.8 volts according to the capacitor readings. but i don't like to let it drop lower then 13. I'll take the cap out and see how that goes. Thanks for the input so far I appreciate it

    decent light dimming with bass, checking grounds?

    decent light dimming with bass, checking grounds?

    So i'm suspecting the grounds running to my amp and cap aren't the greatest as i get a decent amount of headlight dimming when i turn the stereo up to a decent volume and I am running less then 1,000 rms. my battery could probably use replacing soon but i would like to check through my grounds...
