sshere Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've got the stock battery and stock alternator in my car, I am going to upgrade both soon, but had a question regarding dimming ... I've got a 25 farad cap, and my lights are still dimming, is this because my alternator is not charging my battery quick enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedToys1 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 do the big 3 first. very important i made a box(2 12's) for a charger and put it in the guy had all the wiring already i just installed the box i made. the next day he calls me and asks me what he can do about his lights dimming. he said he had 2 optimas on a stock alternator and it was still dimming, so i told him to bring the car to me and i did the big 3 on it and had him try it out, he calls me right away and he said no more dimming and he was very thankful. http://www.DCSOUNDLAB.com/01 Chevy Silverado X-CabPioneer 4900 in Dash3 Stinger 2150'sIraggi 260 amp Alt.1/0 Stinger Wiring(2) DC lvl 5 18's(2) Hifonics Cyclops10 cu box tuned to 27hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
