i don't really care. i think it is the ****ty alternator. even before any aftermarket stuff, the stock speakers could make the dome light blink.

Yes capacitor. 1.0 fared will work for about 400rms maybe more just going by my system.. I had the dimming lights problem. I thought a optima redtop would help which it did a little but I hated dimming lights driving down interstate and whatnot so I got the cap and now it doesnt do it at all..
In the car I have the system in, the electrical system is a joke (its a kia well kias a joke anyhow) so maybe a redtop would clear this up for you....

i got the same prob. running 800 watts rms and the lights blink right in time.i put in a red top batt, still does it, but not as bad. but still noticable. gonna get a couple of caps here soon. hopefully that will stop it. its very annoying.

will...

Do not get a capacitor, they are worthless pieces of garbage. A band-aid for a weak electrical system.
