I got a 97 toyota Camry that i just bought and also i jus got 2 kicker l7's and a hifonics brutus 1500bx and last night was the first time i hooked it up and my lights are dimming inside and out i have read bout the big three will that solve my problem i am 16 and jus working a part time job and owe my mom 400 idk what to do?

 
don't waste your loot on a cap--they are just a bandaid on a gunshot wound(as someone on here put it) the best way to get rid of the dimming would be to start with big 3 then buy a better battery(yellow top optima) and then if the problem persists---its time for an alternator upgrade..

 
i might be some help here, i have 2 L7's and a modded MTX 1801d in a toyota corolla, i would def. upgrade the big 3, it will help for now, when u get money i would upgrade the battery to a red top or yellow top, i've been told a cap is useless, like the other post said just a band-aid on a big wound, since your system doesn't really need a lot of juice, upgrade the wires to 4awg, and let me tell ya it's a real ***** to upgrade on the toyota's everything is all crammed

 
thx ill tell ya how it goes and acually its not that crammed as my pathfinder was now that thing was a ***** this isnt all dat bad i dont think the camrys are as compact as the correllas are...
