when a lot of base is on the lights dip as it is taking a lot of power from the battery, is there a way to stop this? either by adding another battery, or something else?

turn the bass down.

i'd rather be able to see where i'm goin than have my music blasting.

power cap or additional battery

Lmao my lights dip when i turn the heaters on lool!

You'd probably be better fitting a small power cap between the battery and the headlights, rather than between the battery and the amp.

Need a power capacitor. Stores extra power for the songs with the big base...

i can see where im going, its not like they turn off, they just dip slightly, how much roughly do you think the power cap is?

you can pick them up for bout £25 have a look in ebay always loads on there for a good price..

depending on the system and how much you have it up you may need more than one power cap. i bought one recently and it didnt really do much.

that what i get for sticking 3x12's in a corsa. Second battery and some kinda trickle charge would be good. although the power cap between battery and lights sounds like a sweet idea.

the thing ive always wondered though is without a second alternator to charge the second battery - how is it gonna stay charged????

it gets charged from the alternator. the current goes from the alternator to the first battery then sum of it goes to the second

fit a bigger battery and you could also fit a higher amp alternator

or just turn the stereo down!

yh it is the cheaper option and it wouls save ya ears

Ahhhh okie dokie. That sounds quite easy tbh. Mine used to have the same problem but only the bassiest of songs and only sometimes when the battery charge was low. Usually it was fine
