I've been thourgh Audio shops and some say that I need a stronger alternator and others say I need to get a cap or extra battery. As far as upgrading wires....do you all mean just going to thicker wires(say from 4gauge to 2gauge). Would this really help?..... because aint the problem is that the amp is pulling more power from the cars electrical system?....so all this is doing is pulling the same amout of power as before but through bigger wires.  As far as the Cap yes it doesnt supply a constant burst of energy....it gives out short burst of energy so everytime your sub hits that deep tone bass your system would be pulling more from the cap than the battery being that its closer to the amp. So this might help your system but not solve it completely? Getting an extra battery may only help prolong the playing time. If you think about it batteries only store and supply power....aint it your cars alternator that makes sure the battery is always charged up? So even though you have two batteries if your whole system pulls more power(amps) from your cars electrical system...So it only helps prolong playing time right. Getting an aftermarket alternator or getting yours rewound would be the best answer even though not the only one(and also not the cheapest<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />). If your Alt puts out 80 amps and your whole car system and all needs 85 amps isnt this the reason your lights dim cause the load put on your alt is more than it can handle? This is what I've gathered so far from this thread. So what is the real solution? Well I'm not that sure cause from everybody else said its all different.</p></blockquote><p></p>
