lights dim, sub cuts out...helpful tricks?
Friday, October 13, 2006 5:00 PM
Alpine CDA-9856 Headunit
Alpine SPS-46C2 4x6's
Alpine SPS-69C2 6x9's
Alpine MRP-F250 Amp
JL Audio 300/2
JL Audio 12w3v2 Sub
also have an optima yellowtop and the "big 2" upgrade ...i didnt get the alternater positive one i think because the shop said it would cost $65 to do that one because they have to take off the header or something. but anyway once my volume level goes about 20-21 my sub will turn low (i think they dont get enough power)....also when i get up there my lights will dim a little.

what are some other tricks to help these problems? im definatly gonna do the last of the big three when i get some cash. and i dont listen to much rap at all, but this problem occures when i listen to it. i went for a SQ system, sounds good to me but im not an audio guy. thanks eveyrone.

Cap aint gonna help. Get a high output alt. 200 bucks and I think you can get one.

a deep cycle battery is going to help alot too

people seem to be liking the results of adding a Optima yellow top D34/78 as a second battery.
