				Lights Dim
			 
			Well im just wondering how to stop my system from making the lights dim every Bass beat...its really noticable (900 watt max Alpine Type S 12inch sub)  it just pounds....some people say get a Cap. OR even two...or put in a second battery to run the system itself?? what should i do...

		 i think the bigger alternator is the bigger solution, but caps are cheaper. i think 1f will be enough. just some calcualtion but at max power your amp draws 57-75amps

		 just get a 1 farad cap, and call it quits. plus it adds a little to the system especially with the digital readout!
