ok idiots. the first thing you should know is that it is NOT GOOD to have your headlights dimming when your bass hits. That means the power supply provided by your alternator is NOT ENOUGH for your massive sound system and all your car's electrical systems. What you need is a CAPACITOR. These devices store up electricity so that when the bass hits it can draw power from the capacitor rather than the alternator. If you don't have a capacitor, plan on going through a battery or alternator or both every 1 - 2 years. If you get a rockford fosgate capacitor, you will be replacing it every two years depending on how hard it has to work. Monster (brand) capacitors are lifetime warranteed, so if it ever goes out, you get a new one for free. If you don't have a capacitor, you are going to DESTROY your car's normal electrical system, not to mention your sound system.
