[QUOTE="chaostic1, post: 3613347, member: 583311"] I am currently running a 300W Monosub Kicker Amp, and a 400W 4 Channel Kicker Amp in my 05' Jeep Wrangler with upgraded battery. I am getting heavy light dimming both interior and exterior which i cannot explain. Even after installing a 2.2 Farad power cap, no relief to any of the dimming during the bass. The only thing I can think of is bad wiring because a few months ago I was running the same sub amp and an audiobahn 300W 4 channel amp with no power cap and didnt ever have any dimming problems. Then both my amps were stolen, with all the wires cut and my insurance replaced it with the 2 kicker amps, installed by circuit city using the same old cut wiring. Ever since then ive been in dimming hell. Any thoughts or ideas? Think its a wiring problem like me? Lights really shouldnt be dimming at 300W in a vehicle thats designed to power a winch, upgraded alternator and blue top optima battery. [/QUOTE]
