I have 2 kicker dc 12 " running on a kicker zx.4001 amp. Every time these things pound they dimm every light in the car including my headlights. Is there anyway this can be fixed? Its kind of embarrasing at night

 

Look into a new alternator, it's not providing enough power to your car.

new alternator or get a capacitor (sp?)

 

there is also a new type of car battery you could buy. it's specailly made for audio systems. i believe it's called lighting or something. but just check at your local audio store and they should have it. these batteries usaully run about 150 to 200.

 

just make it easy and get a capacitor....

 

yea just get a capacitor it would solve it for u. like a 1.5 or 2.0 farad

 

capacitors are a waste of money.

get an upgraded battery (optima yellow top), upgrade your alternator (direct swap from a pt cruiser w/o turbo) and use 4 gauge wiring to ground your battery to the car.

 

no you cannot fix it. many people have tried and i dont believe any have succeeded. they have tried new batteries, capaciters, and alrernators. unless you wanna rewire your entire system i dont think it can be done

 

i think u all gonna confuse the guy here

 

I would have to say I had the same issue with my first audio design. I upgrated my Battery with a Red Top, and a secondary grounding system from Sun Automotive called Hyper grounding system. I also added a Hyper voltage system that regulates my voltage and makes sure that its constant. Then I upgraded to JL Audio 500/1 class D amp and 300/4 amp and no issues now.... I hope that this helps a bit.
