I know I'm supposed to get a little bit a dim from my headlights when installing a system but this is somewhat noticeable while I'm driving!! I just picked my car up yesterday from the audio shop and let me say for having stock pioneer hi's and mid's or whatever they are they sound damn good!! I have 2 JL AUDIO 12WO's run by a MTX Thunder5250D amplifier and I have a CLARION APX200.1 amplifier running my ALPINE 7995 and all interior speakers (HI's, Mid's) and I am using 4 gauge wiring so is there anything I can do or get to lighten up this dimming situation, a capacator or anything?? I'm not sure what kind of fuses and all are setup I am gonna be checking all the wiring and loose ends today when I get home!!

THANKS

.5 FARAD Cap should do the trick

blupro5

im with him. i had the same problem when i put up the bass and after i got the Cap it was gone

proper wiring will do the trick also, 4gauge from the alt to the battery, from the engine to the car and from the bat to the car. but you also need a getter battery...or buy a cap

Hey blupro5 your the one that had the online coverage of your pro aren't you?? You and someone else I forget who but how much did that grille cost you, I know it's custom made but the place you bought it from do they sell them outright or do you have to call and get it custom made???
THANKS for the info too!!

O nevermind I saw that picture under your name and I figured it was yours but do you have that same grille on your car?? I noticed in your sig that your car is blue not yellow!!

I'm not a pro on sound systems but a better battery will make a huge diference. My lights dim, but barely noticeable. I bought a gel battery from Kragen Auto parts. I think it's the Exide brand.

Do look into a higher quality battery.

As far as capacitors go can I use a 1 farad instead of a 0.5 farad? or is that too much?

nate0123

It won't hurt to have more reserve. 1/2 FARAD is generally enough for up if you're running up to 500 watts of power in your system. 1 FARAD for 500-1000 watts.

Red Racer

Thanks that explains it for me. My Punch amp runs right at or around 500 depending on the day. I think I will get the 1 farad. They are going for about the same price as a half on ebay.

Hey Blupro5 what exactly did you ask them for when you called them!! Did you ask for like a billet grille or what?? Or did you say the one that you seen in the mag on the yellow pro5??

goto www.thezeb.com you can get a lightning audio strike .5 cap for 50 bucks and a 1 farad cap for 50 bucks. and you don't have to worry about being screwed on ebay. the also have ultima batterys for 135
