Hey guys I was wondering if you guys have had any trouble with your car lights dimming everything time your bass hits?

If so what did you guys do? did you buy a new alternator, what kind works good and how much bigger and a better one would i need?

What im running right now is a 12 alpine type r with a Alpine MRP-M650 and it seems to be dimming my lights pretty bad any solutions?

Thanks

 

capacitor should fix it

 

what he said or could always get a audio battery

 

i had the same prob and a capacitor only helps when you hit hard once in a while not all the time but it will help what you are going to need is another battery or a bigger alternator... or turn down your subs on the amp/bass ***

 

capacitor and optima battery

 

yellow top

 

Yep, worked for me. Best buy has them.

 

yea or a local audio store might have them cheaper

 

Ok so why are most of you guys sugesting caps? any reason why.. what do they do. I was thinking of getting a new alternator because it seems like every time it hits the sound gets less loud. seems like im over using the alternator.

What do you guys think

 

naw juss not enough power to ur system like we all said even juss getting a optima yellow top shop stop that a cap is good if u dont wanna go the route of replacing ur battery and it will stop the dimming of ur lights

 

so how much is one of these, which one should I get. Do they all work the same. bigger the better. or how do the rate the capacitor.

 

farads get a 1.5 or 2 and yes bigger is batter and the are super easy to hook up...

 

your amp could be shorted out too if it just randomly started. get a 4 farad cap and ull be good to go.
