[QUOTE="klassic, post: 1115489, member: 559732"] Owning a 02' GTI with one diamond M6 (older version of D6 and running not nearly as much power (and having a 1 farad cap as well...what can I say the blinky blue leds and display look cool at night) I can already tell you a) with no electrical upgrades your headlights will dim to hell b) a cap wont help much at all c) an upgraded battery will do wonders but may not eliminate it completely especially at your power level. had a optima red top which barely helped now yellow top which nearly eliminates it except when cranking real hard d) without upgrading the alternator ground you may still get headlight dimming, just upgrading the battery and battery ground help alot but isn't neccessarily enough. Now I am running my amp bridged into 2ohms (a 1ohm load to the amp) with a class A/B amp = much higher current draw than typical especially for equavalent D class power so your car may not suffer quite the same, then again my amp is only rated at 75x4/250x2 and powers my entire system with 75x2 up front and 250X1 (probably more) rear channels to the sub.
