And also at night my lights still dim. The capacitor lights up and all and has this display that shows the voltage and stuff. Im curious because when the music is blasted and i look at the cap. it shows the volage dropping usually around 10-12volts, which is usually followed by the amp cutting off.I tried a new battery from AutoZone, as recommended by the guy who installed my music....It didnt work, So i returned the battery and have a new problem.The guy in autozone said lets try something since, the battery didnt work, we turned the music on, the lights, heater, everything. And the car turned off. Now i have the stock altenator, and am thinking about doin the "Big 3", do u guys think this will work , or will i need a new alt.?</blockquote>
