i have another volt drop question

[tothemax1984]

i just dont understand. but what i do is there is gona be volt drops with a stock alt and subpar battery. but with my bass boost around midd i get volt drops down to 12.8 with my lights dimming a little bit. bass boost up past midd alot more bass and i get low 12s and lights dimming bad well car is siting and running. my question is this happens somtimes why does my volt drop sometimes and then i would have a night like tonight it was dimming bad at midd level. i fell like im having a hard tome finding the sweet spot as far as settings go. i set mine bye turning my lights on at night with radio up to 35 and with a song with bass well the car is running and siting in a open space. if lights dimm i cut my level back and bass boost back and i watch the volt drop on my plug in metter. i dont understand why it will change from one day to another. thanks

Leave the bass boost alone.

Upgrade battery.

Buy a cap.

What do u want me to say? The guy is saying when he plays with his bass knob the lights dim? Should I tell him that Sony subs aren't good either?

You can spend a little bit more and get a better battery. Optima maybe? Why is 100 your limit? Why not sell that amp for a battery?

well if i sell the amp i will only have my 2 channel amp. thats only 580 watts its siting in my girls room now. i dont have sony subs they stink. and i really dont wont to spend like 175 for a battery. im in a weird postion im saving money up for my ****** problem. i might need a rebuild soon. the car is only 4 months old for me. im not really into doing the big 3 and then i get rid of the car. i so badly want a nice car. i love car audio and i want to learn more. but i am not in a postion to buy a better car that can go out and buy a nice bass amp deck etc. sucks to be me.
