Ok, I got two Kenwood 10" subs http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6255134&type=product&productCatego ryId=cat03081&id=1072284520637and a 300 watt amp that peaks at 920 watts (4 ohms when bridged)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6983071&type=product&productCatego ryId=cat03085&id=1099388637212. My system sounds fine but at night I do notice the light dimming. What type of capacitor should I get and when I get it what do I use to charge it. I have read http://www.caraudiohelp.com/car_audio_capacitor_installation/car_audio_capacitor _installation.htm and I understand how to install (looks easy) but how do you charge the cap before I install so I do not blow fuses and more?

you do not need a cap with your set-up it will be a waste of money. Take the money and get a optima battery or a HO alternator if you want to get something good.
