I have 0 ga. and I don't have any dimming issues. I know Pearl96Max has 4 ARc Audio amps and 0ga and doesn't have any dimming issues either and he plays his music LOUD. 2ga or 4ga will work.
If you have one amp you can do 4ga from the battery back to the amp. If you have two amps you can do 4ga to a distribution block and then 4ga or 8ga from there to each amp.

What is it exactly that makes you think you need a cap? Size amp? power wire run?etc..Like posted above its just a bandaid to a rather larger issue.
Check your alternator, and reground all of your high current grounds.

but it never fails that a moderator swoops in like a falcon to follow up with a bitter cheap shot - both comments are uncalled for imo
but back to business,
Rick, I've been told that getting a yellow top optima battery can solve dimming issues, its marketed as "deep cycle" but you can replace your main battery with it
i haven't gotten one that fits in my max yet, but it should def. fix the dimming issues
a 1 farad cap on those subs isnt gonna do squat
the reason its dimming on bassy (spelling?) songs because there is too much power draw

Cheap shot? Show me where Tek-Niq said or did something offensive...
In YOUR opinion they both may have been uncalled for, but yet I still see nothing wrong with what Tek-Niq posted, he was simply trying to help with info. Not giving somebody the 'finger'. Further more, your first statement..
"i think it was directed at Tek-Niq, for what reason i don't know" So obviously there your saying you didnt find anything offensive either. You then contradict with..."both comments are uncalled for imo"

all i said was that the "middle finger" and "you being hastily mean" were uncalled for
i don't contradict myself

In addition, I still tried to help him with his problem, but he has yet to answer, but to respond to other posts.

You Must be kidding me, I deleted his post? Check again there my friend. I deleted Nothing.

well at any rate, the point was he clicked the wrong icon by mistake - the problem with the middle finger icon is that the happy face starts waving and then it turns into a middle finger so you dont expect it
this of course was the cause of the improper icon being used which then caused you slam the gavel down in all directions which caused me to say hey, wtf ...

This message has been deleted by rick's 92.
HE in fact deleted all of HIS OWN messages. So you still proved nothing on me being wrong.

BTW..Rick, I could care less about the middle finger in your profile, it was the context you originally posted it with in this thread. Yes now I realize it was unintentional...no harm, no foul

If you really NEED a capacitor, you amps have poorly designed power supplies.....Caps were big in the 80's because it actually helped systems back then- you current day amps are much better designed and if you have dimming issues is because your amps current demands exeed that that can be drawn- increase wire size, as well as grounds-
Try drinking ice cream though a straw....yeah...its not easy for your electrical either
