Should I replace the battery?

Ever since i got my system installed, my headlights, guage cluster, and monitor all dim in and out every time the sub hits. Is this killing my battery? Would a Yellow Top fix this problem? Thanks for the help.

Battery can contribute to improvement and a capacitor can as well. Better grounding has been known to cure these issues as well (the equivalent of the grounding kits people are now selling for cars - re grounding battery/engine/alternator with thicker cables), but the sure fire fix is grounding in tandem with a new/upgraded alternator. It's expensive, but it works.
