[Guenther13]

I have 1600 watts and everytime the base hits my indiglo gauges and headlights dim. I was told I need to get a compasitor but not sure which size. Do I go with 1 farad or do I go with 2 farads? Not sure what I need please help!!!!!!

yeah, be carefull! Too many people try to draw too much from their altinator, and instead of addressing the issue the easy out is " buy a capasitor" which only makes the problem worse really in the long run, I saw a guy with a PHAT ash system and ended up having his whole engine bay go up in smoke along with half the front of the car, b/c he didn't take the proper percautions and steps to make his system capable of handleing such pwr. and heat dispertion. So unless you're willing to say bye bye to your wheels take audiofreaks advice!
