[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7181744, member: 629857"] come on now don't start with the capacitor crap. audi... post your jl's amp setting, very good chance of there being an issue with them. im willing to bet that your 150 amp alt does not do 150 at idle. probably more like 70 amps at lower rpms like all alts. and now that I think about it. the reason the lights don't appear to be dimming on the low notes is because the current is pulling from the battery and will just stay at a the battery's voltage. giving you constant light but just a lower output (lights would not be flickering). but on the higher notes where your amp uses less power, the alt is powering it with a higher voltage but just barely. this would give you a voltage fluctuation which causes the flickering. Im 99% certain this is the problem. I don't know if that makes sense to you, I can try to explain it better if you need me to. [/QUOTE]
