Car lights getting dim every time my mtx 7500 thunder subs hit?

Question

how can i stop my car lights from dimming when my subs hit i have a new alternator and battery i think my sub2 and amp need more power than what my car can produce

Answer 1

you need a better alternator.

Answer 2

A capacitor should do the trick. Its a device that builds up charge, and releases it in quick bursts when it feels like there is going to be a strain on your battery. Look em up on a website, like crutchfield.com.

Hope I helped. =)

*EDIT*

This is the 'thunderclap' device that J is talking about above me.

*EDIT*

A capacitor does NOT create ANY energy. It only stores the charge...

Answer 3

get a bigger amp

Answer 4

you might need to get another battery just for the amp and speaker thats what i did for mine i had the same problem

Answer 5

You should get a Capacitor for your system. This little thing will generate power like the alternator but with more watts for amps. You should get Capacitor with at least capacity of 2.0.

Try it out.

Answer 6

Do your car, neighbors and your hearing a favor.  Remove the subs.

Think about the rights of people whos homes you invade with your music.

Respect is a two way street.

Answer 7

Thundercaps or rather these devices that look like long cylinders that sit between your battery and your amp...  the produce the energy needed to power your system and reduce the drain from your batt and alternator.

maybe a car audio guy here can get you the proper name...

you dont need another batt or a new alternator.. this device im talking about is all you need..  describe it how i did to a car audio guy and he'll know what your talking about...
