[QUOTE="GO-N DEF, post: 1516722, member: 564681"] I was having quite a bit of dimming and I would watch the needle of my volt-meter (on the dash) bounce and continue to drop as the music played. This happened even after I had done the Big 3 with 4 gauge, so I re-did it in 1/0 Gauge. That helped a little, but I was still having a little dimming. I recently added in a new set of Stinger battery terminals (up-graded from the cheap gold plated ones from Advance) and now all I get is a twitch on the volt-meter. My next upgrade will be a higher amperage alternator and that should solve the rest of the problem. BTW, I've had a yellow top Optima battery and a 1 farad cap in the whole time. I'm in the middle of upgrading the power wire to my amps and the cap will be removed once complete. I bought/installed it before I knew anything about them and from the research done by this forum's members and others', I can't see a real advantage of having one. [/QUOTE]
