Just to give a quick run down. Car is 04 Neon. I only have a 15 in L5 aero port. Shark audio 2500d at I believe 2 ohms. Gain maybe half way bass boost maybe 1/4. I have a Jenson 760.4 for my mids and highs which are currently only stock so the amps gains are very low.
I have a 220 amp H/O alt. Big 3. And I run 4 gauge stinger OFC wore to the back with a distribution block. And 4 have into amp. (i will eventually upgrade to bigger wire or a second run. But I'd rather not even have to if I can get away with it) and just a basic Wal-Mart battery atm. I'm doing things as I can.
My issue is my lights still dim though I would like my next move to be the best option To stop the dimming. They only dim during the intial bass drops. If the bass is continuesly heavy the lights pick back up to fill power (if that makes sense) I'm sorry I'm poor at explaining thing through text.
But basically what can I do (most efficiently) rid the issue. If a capacitor works like it is supposed to then that would get rid of the issue id assume. I'm fully aware they arnt usually the best option but I have a very large alt and a capacitor seems like it would do the trick.
However is not the case? I've never owned one. Would a high end battery under the hood fix the issue? Or would I HAVE to get a second battery I mean I figure I can't be running anymore than 1k rms at peak.
