[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 4317209, member: 584344"] x2. A dimming problem cannot be solved by a Cap, it can only be solved by beefing up the true culprit... in some cases just doing 'The Big 3' [Check the Sticky] will do more than cure it. In other cases you need a beefier Altenator, and in some cases you need multiple alts. However, at that level you've dropped more than the car's worth in audio equipment. At any rate, just do 'The Big 3', it's a simple and easy fix that you can probably do by yourself [even the most mechanically declined people can do it]. If that doesn't solve the problem [which it probably will], you should get a nice battery. You don't need a Kinetik, or any hardcore battery like that, a simple Duralast Gold will do. (I have that battery and it's bomb[good]) Now, if both of those fails [which I doubt], you have to upgrade your altenator from your stock one to a badass one. Odds are you won't have to do this, though. Rough price for The Big 3: ~$50-60 bucks for 0/1 gauge wire + ring terminals. It actually depends... $3.25/ft off Knukonceptz for 0/1, then a few bucks for ring terminals. Don't forget fuses. You have to fuse those wires unless you're retarded-brave. I got my Duralast Gold for like $60 bucks. However H.O. [High Output] Alts can get quite costly... $250+ At any rate, use the cap as a paper-weight and beef up the real problem. [/QUOTE]
