well im running the jbl 1200 mono block amp stabed at 1 ohm with my quad 1 ohm onxy monster sub..

and my head lights and my interior lights they amaged my speedomoter light on my dash,dim like a biiotch,

i did the big three and it improved my dimmming to a min but it still dimming now im on a cheap budget so i was thinking gettin a yellow top.. would that fix most of all of it? i do have a weak battery right now, and its leakin acid a lil bit but its still working.

if i get a good battery such as the stinger or a yellow top

would that stop my dimming? or do i have to buy a ho alt.. and spend like 500 bucks there

I would not get the yellowtop because it is bigger and has less amps

the stinger is smaller and more amps!!

Yes becuase in the future u will upgrade your system and your stock alt is like 105 amps to 120 amps...... So it would be good to get one!

It's pointless to get anything until you replace the alternator.

And a new HO alt shouldn't cost 500$. Get a few quotes.

Im probably going to go with the Stinger SP1000 to replace my stock battery in my 98 camry / Just hope that it matches my positive and negative and angles right for easy connectivity.
