If your headlight dims with the bass notes, this might work.  If not an H.O. alternator will be needed, or else be prepared to pour a lot of $$$ for batteries.

Answer 2

It is referring to the crossover, and more specifically the "roll off" or "slope", to put it as simple as possible, say the cutoff frequency was 1000Hz, with a 12dB/octave "roll off", the volume will decrease by 12dB for each increase or decrease in frequency (octave).
