What alt are you currently running and whats your engine? Usually a better quality larger capacity battery will give you less dimming and longer running time, as well as being able to take some stick! | |

How much would a bigger alternater be as i get a fair amount of light dimming with just one amp and one sub. | |

but if the powers not there in the first place, the lights will still dim. | |

ive got an uprated battery and cap but just a standard alternator. Although am not questioning the fact that an uprated alternator is best i have noticed a definate gain from my cap!! | |

you would be a lot better off spending your money on an upgraded altenator, cos if the power isnt htere in the first place, a cap will make almost no difference at all. I think you can even get your current ones rewound. | |

get an uprated altenator, then battery then cap if needed - that's the best order to do it in to see noticable effects. :thumbs: | |
