Has anybody grounded their Max/I30. I installed an optima yeMy system is pretty basic so there is no reason for my lights to be dimming, only 1 ampllow top, but my lights still dim, and I'm thinking about regrounding my car. Any ideas, suggestions, opinion?? .

the grounding kit that i got off ebay didnt offer that much of a differnce its mostly just for the looks of it all but i did notice a massive reduction in electrical noise but my lights still dim under heavy bass. Try installing a cap onto the system that might help.

if u don't have a cap in your system.....add it on.....the rule of thumb is : 1 farad cap for every 1000w of power.....get a cap.....i`m sure it's going to help.....let us know if it solved the problem
