Help Guys!

I have a "00" Se loaded. Factory Head unit, a Rockford 500x for the mains and a 700s for two RF subs in a sealed box. I have a 1 farad cap and a Red top optima. On deep bass hits my head lights still have a noticeable dim. Any suggestions????

Thanks in advance

Do you have a second battery or did you just replace the stock with an Optima? If you do have a second battery do you have an Isolator?
What is the max Current (not Watts) those amps will use?

 

heres a tip! try turning the volume down! lol j/k try a second battery and a smart Switcher from orion!

 

dont get a second battery!!! htat wont do the job unless u liosten to ur system with the engine off. get a new alternator that will defintly fix ur prob.

 

I got the exact same problem. I got the optima red top and new alternator. Still doesn't help. I need more suggestions.

 

how big of an alt did u get? i would recommend 135 to 140 amp alternator for ur situation.

 

agreed. a higher current rating alternator should help.

 

I don't think I need a high output alternator cause I only have a jl audio 500/1 and an alpine 400 watt 4channel amp. My grounds are good. I don't know what my problem is.
