Just get a high CCA battery and run a capacitor for your audio equipment, Optima batteries are indeed good but the prices are steep. Don't need to get a battery that is more than you need.

If your struggling with dimming lights etc you need to beef up the cables, battery and alternator. This is well known in the car audio industry -------------------- www.celica-club.co.uk

This is well known in the car audio industry um NOOOOOOOOOOOO. The car audio industry is full of highly deluded individuals that have no idea what they are talking about. As others have stated, its all about the altenator. A capcitor main function on a audio setup, is protection of the equipment due to voltage drops and raises. It is quite easy to wire it up with a relay so it doesn't constantly drain the battery. Beefing up the cables is one of the worst things to do, do the damn math, and find out your ampres throughput and buy the correct cable. If the battery starts the car, its done its job. If your lites are dimming, its bad alt, or bad grounding on the audio. This post has been edited by rave2n: Feb 24, 2010 - 3:57 PM |
