[QUOTE="falconflyer04, post: 6712824, member: 612041"] Hi Guys, I have some simple question that's been bothering me and I would like to get some answer... So here is the deal ;I have two amplifiers installed in my car which are running sub and front stage, they are 360Watts and 500Watts RMS each... Everything sound perfect but when at full blast the light does dim! Now I know that a caps is not the solution and I will not waste my money on it and I am tired to try to convince the mechanic guy that he's full of u know what when he's trying to make me buy one! Since I bought my car, it came with an anormaly small battery that doesn't even use the the full battery crate, so I was thinking of upgrading it to a bigger one since it's starting to feel it's age, would that help my sound system? Second of all, I mesured my resistance for my ground wires to the battery and with the extended wire calculated off, I have a value of 8.4ohm (DMM set at 200m Ohm) Is that a too high number? And finally, this system is wired with a 4 gauge power wire; is this enough for the amplifiers I am running? Also, is there a way to calculate the load in amps that my amplifiers are pumping on the car electrical system? Thanks [/QUOTE]
