xf1v3xf33txf4tx Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have 2 12" Kicker Comps(150 rms each) and when I'm playing my music and have my lights on my lights will dim. I understand that if I had a really high wattage system that that would be expected but, this has got me confused and I was wondering how to fix that problem.

Rebel4055 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Clipping can cause voltage drop, having that cap in will cause voltage drop, having a bad ground or connection somewhere will cause voltage drop Rest In Peace mother.
