Lights Dimming When I Turn It Up

[Jeff]

A guy I know owed me 10 bucks and he offered me a 1 farad cap so I took it an we called it even. Since I'm not constantly straining my alternator, a cap WOULD help for the brief amounts of time that everything would dim, right? Rock music does nothing but rap dims alot.

Well in that case it could help on quick bass hits in rock but still man, a cap is not a substitute for electrical upgrades

Another thing is make sure your ground going from your amp is the same gauge wire as your power wire coming from the battery. That will make it dim excessively. I melted my fuse holder because of that issue

I'm guessing the UDP would screw w/ this a ton. Is there a way to somehow gain hp and get decent voltage out of our cars? UDP and ODP? lol

I imagine u can put a bigger alternator on it. But seeing the pulley only gives u 5hp i really don't see the point. I have driven without a serpentine belt before and it didnt make a very big difference power wise
