[QUOTE="5thgenaccord, post: 1745829, member: 567904"] I just recently added a new amp and my headlights go nuts on the highway at 70mph. I have a 94 Accord with 2 yellow tops 700 ish cca, 1 farad cap, and a new alternator that puts out 90 amps. I am running 2 grounds on the underhood battery (4ga and oem). The rear battery I am running 0 ga ground. I am running a 4 ga from underhood battery to alternator. From my understanding of a capacitor, it holds temperary voltage to be used and regenerated quickly. So now that I am running 2 batteries and would have more avalible voltage, would adding a bigger cap help headlight dimming? I really don't want to replace the alternator because the one I have is new. I was also told by a car audio specialist that if I got a high output alternator I would run lean (it could have been just that type of alternator). [/QUOTE]
