[QUOTE="Radiation, post: 8475342, member: 659580"] Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some input on a problem I'm having in my Dodge Caliber. I recently got a new car after being in a pile up and a new audio system along with it. The problem I'm encountering is my headlights dimming along with the speed gauge back-lights when my volume gets to a mid-high/high listening level. Of course I dont feel like dishing out a few hundred for a new battery or alternator as both are perfectly fine so I'm wondering if two 3 farad Precision Power capacitors for both of my amps would help or if I'm just wasting my money. All my grounds are fine and I'm running a main power line with a distribution block that separates to both amps. I have a Precision Power PPI BK650.1D powering an Alpine SWR-10D2 wired to 1 ohms and a Autotek MM1550.4 powering 4 of JBL GTO938. The capacitors I'm looking at are Precision Power C.3F. Would one of these for each amp help with the dimming? [/QUOTE]
