[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6646346, member: 585517"] By sufficient do you mean no dimming? The answer is no. You will be able to run it just fine for quite a while. You may damage your current alt, but it won't be right away. If I were you, I'd finish the big 3. I wouldn't worry about a cap because it can't help you unless you have a large enough alternator that you get no voltage drop and you only get voltage spikes due to regulator lag. Throw that idea out the window. A second battery is usually the only way these guys can run these 5000w amps etc but they don't fix any problems. Until you can get a bigger alt, just turn the gain down. Turn it up until you get only slight dimming. If you get any more, back the gain down a little. It might be fun to keep turning it up, but you will pay for it one way or another. [/QUOTE]
