[QUOTE="Bigokie, post: 8439061, member: 667287"] Great forum. Been lurking and posted about my original a/d/s amp(no replies but its all good). I have a problem(problems). My headlights dim when my one and only mono sub amp hits "hard". I have done the Big 3(and its actually 4 because I have OCD!!!) and installed a 1.5 farad cap. Didnt help. I sent the cap back. For every good review and testimony about caps there are 2 that say they are worthless. I am not saying one way or another if they work, I just know it didnt help me. After I removed it, there was no difference. I used 1/0 welding cable and soldered my lugs. I work shift work and havent had a chance to have my alt and batt tested, hopefully do that today. Depending on how they check out, I dont want to spend the money on a 250 amp alt. My 2007 NBS Siverado came with a 145 amp alt and I would think that is enough. I am going to put another amp in this weekend but its for my door speakers(so it shouldnt take alot to run). Any ideas? Thoughts to think about after I have batt and alt checked?
