[QUOTE="slick316, post: 375227, member: 547549"] i got the impression that getting a better battery, like an optima, would help my dimming problem, so i bought one. $140 later, feels the same as before, actually, it is the same as before. i have an epic 160, it displays voltage, and it looks as though the voltage is the same. did i make a mistake getting this battery, or is it a crucial part of an audio system? my "big three" are upgraded, and i'm getting 1/0 gauge power and ground installed next week probably, i was thinking, if it was cheap, to get my alt rewound, but my local shop owner thinks that i should just get a cap, he said that the new rockford 40 farad cap is something i should think of. 40 farads? holy crap thats a lot, i'm not running 5000watts, is this something i can even benefit from, or is it straight overkill? i'm just a little upset that the optima wasn't what i thought it was, but thats probably because i dont know what the hell i was thinking when i got it.
