yea you can other alts to fit, but most people have gone for bosch(?) alts, which are used in the bigger corsa's etc like the diesels. But ask austin etc about these, since i havnt done it yet, nor looked up the info. | |

i bought the new battery and cause it is the high power one it did help stop the dimming of the headlights, and yes a cap will help sextons have some good offers on atm | |

upgrade your battery and alt, its the only way to overcome dimming lights etc. A cap might help, but its only like a little battery which stores some power when the amp demands its, like on heavy beats/bass etc However, its useless if you battery cant charge up quickly and provide the cap with more power to charge that up. Basically mate, just get a bigger battery and see if that works. If it doesnt, then your gonna need to change alts and once that works out ok then you can wack a cap in there for good measures :) | |

Ahh Halfords batts... I thought that there would be little point spending £120 on one of the Optima ones for such a small install - does it stop your lights form dimming when you get heavy bass, or would a good batt and a power cap be the way forward? | |

cap would just use more power from battery when it charges. Just get an Exide Corsa turbo diesel battery. | |

surely you should just cap it? as you got 2 400W amps then it would be 0.5 farads for each 400W ? so you'd need a 1 farad cap and wudnt need another battery? | |

I think I need a new battery for when I do my install. Previously when I turned the power up to full all the lights dimmed, and sometimes my digi dash turned off! Thats cos my batts shagged anyway. |
