bird333 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 I got a 96 Accord with JL Slash 1000 watt mono amp and a slash 300w 4 channel, 180 amp alt and die hard platinum battery (yes I've done the 'big 3' and did the mod to get full output from the alt). I still get light dimming problems. I guess the next step is a second battery in the trunk. I want to take up as little room as possible. What equipment should I get and how do I do this right?
RainStryke Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 A capacitor or change over to HID lights.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Super caps=good Regular car audio caps= bad That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Kyblack76 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 why are you worried about your lights dimming ? and what alt do you have in a honda that does 180? swap to hid's and you wont dim.. I do dig those slash amps btw edit - putting more reserve may help.. but... ..... the speed of the low end note hitting,.. a cap may be what you want..... a proper one. or just put in HIDs if your that worried about dimming... Have you put a meter on it while playing?? (ill bet your holding fine voltage) SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Just so we all know a cap of any kind is not going to stop them dimming and most likely neither will a battery. My voltage drop was around .1-.2 and my lights still dimmed, like kyle said if it bothers you get hids. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
bird333 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Posted July 26, 2015 DC audio alt. So there really is no hope? It's not just the headlights, it's the instrument panel too.
