[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1476685, member: 550915"] Blue- I only have my work internet connection right now and all the photohosting sites are blocked so I can't see your pics in your sig. What car do you have? Based on your description, you likely won't see relief from a battery. Since you already bought one, I hope it works for you, but you are trying to keep voltage from dropping from 14V by adding a 12V current source. What will likely happen is that you will get some good dimming for a while and then once the battery discharges a bit and demands a decent charging current from the alt, it will up its output and everything will be peachy for a minute or two and then the whole cycle will start over again. Your case is actually one of the ones made to order for a large cap. It will supply current starting at 14V for the transients and then quickly recharge during the lulls between. Most people think that the low droning bass it what requires a lot of current, but in my experience, I've had more problems with dimming on the transient kick drums in rock and metal. [/QUOTE]
