Question Capacitor help.

I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to picking out a capacitor. I was wanting to get one for my audio setup because when it hits some really low notes at higher volumes it makes all the lights dime in my car. I have a kicker 350.4 and a kicker 550.2
Please help me decide a nice affordable capacitor

i would add an additional 4g or 1/0 ground for the battery and upgrade the battery before doing a cap.

But if you want the cap then i would look at a rockford fosgate 1f

Like they said, a cap is a temp fix. They ground wire upgrade and battery upgrade will solve your problems. Also if you wanna do a cap afterwords then you'll be laughin

you dont "need" to buy a yellow top any sealed agm battery will do nicely... yellow top is just the "kleenex" of deep cycle batteries or "dynamat" of automotive sound insualtion
