Running 3000 watts and I have upgraded all electrical parts

[5thgenaccord 10+ year member]

I have a 94 Accord Lx and I am constantly dimming my headlights, and I need some new ideas. I have the big 3 done all with multiple 4 gauge wires. I have a 1 farat cap, 2 Optima yellow tops with about 800 cca, and a 150 amp alternator. The biggest alternator I can get is 200 amps. I was wondering if I should buy a Kinetik 2400 battery or if it is a waste of money with what I have.

Thanks

get rid of the capacitor, get the 2400.

for 3k watts, I'd bump your big 3 wire up to 1/0AWG, at least.

get 0 gauge big 3 and the 2400

1/0awg is a must when running that much power. the optimas will be fine but you should get the 200amp alt. then the dimming will stop.

run both optimas but get all 1/0ga. See where that gets you first...
