i have a question about the lancer charging system my last system included 2 pionner 12 inch subs a 980 watt power accoustic amp and believe it or not a 5 farad pa capacitor and my lights/instrament pannel still dimmed, sold the cap and now i have a much powerful system 3 ten inch audiobans and a planet audio vx1502 amp with no cap/stock alt and batt and my lights dim and instrament pannel i also have a screen that dims when the bass hits

 

What does the poll have to do about this?

If your going for show or just cruise, buy more caps but do your research. Some are very cheap, and pretty much worthless

 

Maybe think about adding a battery just for your audio system and look into a more powerful alternator. Not sure if we ever figured out though if there is an easy upgrade for our alt. though... The caps are worthless, as you found out. Time to go another route.

 

caps dont do crap, they just delay the dim time by .01 of a second never buy one

upgraded alternator should be first, it will solve all your problems and if u plan on going really big get a small battery but make sure your alt. can handle it all

alternator is the only thing to stop the dimming if thats what your asking

 

I've seen some really good caps, but again, he had 4 of them! lol.

I agree with bene. With that money, just upgrade your alt.

 

And forgot to mention he also had 1 or 2 extra batteries. can't remember.

Not sure if that helps it bump without dimming lights.

 

it helps with the dimming lights yes but puts more strain on your alternator so if u get 2 batterys on a stock alternator you will burn it out in no time

 

Ohio Generator. yeah get a second battery and an upgraded alternator Make sure you get the multiple battery isolator.

 

Don't forget a grounding kit. Cheap yet effective upgrade to your electrical system.
