ditch the cap(use it in the office) and buy a battery.. how many amps is your alt?

umm pretty sure 95 or 100 amp. its brand new. is it just the cap?i barley had light dimming with a battery so im confused. i might just go deep cell batt.

do a search and try doing the big 3 under your hood...it will make a big difference...plus your car is a unibody so no frame...your amp may be starving for a ground...run a ground wire equal to your power wire from your battery back.....That will be a major help as well.....

if i use 10 guage to test not permently will i see the difference?

that will help...yoyu can run the 10 gauge from the battery gnd to the amp ground...if you can keep the ground your already using also...the 10g might be enough to help it get a solid ground...if your good with a volt meter you can check the ground ohms to get the loweset resistance

no that didnt work, could i get pulled over for light dimming?

ditch that CAP and do your BIG 3. Try to get you self some 1/0 to do it for best results IMO. Then if you still have problems maybe you should look into a second batt which i dont think you will need with a 1000 watt system.
