[QUOTE="Frankensuby, post: 2640700, member: 569869"] So, I have a bunch of equipment hooked into a 70 amp alternator. At my desired volume level I get slight dimming, and at abusively loud, it dims alot. I did notice however, that the dimming only occurrs on quick, hard hitting notes, but is fine on the longer drawn out notes. My voltage only drops .4 at most, and once the initial hit is done, the lights are fine, even though there is still alot of bass. So, if I was to use a cap to eliminate, or atleast reduce, the amount of initial dimming, that would be using the cap properly? I have a 1 farad from my more n00b system in the old car, so I'd just recycle that one. [/QUOTE]
