I have recently purchased a jl audio 12w7 and a jl 1000/1v2 slash amp, i have ordered autoleads zero gauge wiring kit and i now need a power cap to complete my system before i install everything. Just wondering if anybody has a similar setup and what power cap have you used?? any recommendations please, would be much appreciated......

A friend told me that my headlights and other lights in the car will dimn when the bass hits, i have a system in at the moment and the speedo and dash lights dimn - the jl's are way more power consuming.Is there anyway of getting round this? and is my 'friend' an unreliable source for information?

ur friend is wrong

ideally when ur lights dim its because your electrical isnt upto snuff

upgrade your batt ... big 3 wiring in ur vehicle ... then check for dimming ... if its still there then upgrade your alternator to a High Output Alternator, that will suffice your electrical needs for your vehicle and your system
