[QUOTE="elpelotero22, post: 3613645, member: 583177"] OK, this is my second post in this site. So far i have found a lot of helpful info reading through the threads here. Here's my deal. I currently have 4 pioneer 6 1/2's, 2 infinity 6x9's, 2 12'' kicker L7's, a Soundstream 3000(1500 rms) watt mono D class amp, a pioneer 760 watts max amp for my components, 4 tweeters, and a 5 farad soundstream cap. I had issues (my 1st post whats asking about the problem) where i wasnt getting enough bass out of my system. I got that straighted out, and now here is my other question. With all this power i have going into the system in my little 2000 jetta, i dont have any upgrades. No big 3, no HO alternator, no upgraded battery... nothing, just a 5 farad cap. My lights do dim a little, but nothing too serious. Am i not maximizing the potential of my system by not upgrading anything? Am I at risk of my battery or alt giving out. My cap reads about 12 volts, which the install guy told me that was good. How much more power can i get out of these bad boys if i were to upgrade? I'm using 4 gauge wires. [/QUOTE]
