Hey people with subwoofers!, Does this happen to you too? Options

Okay so Im driven home and its night and so of course I have the head lights on... Anyways, Im driving home and I throw in some music and a song starts up and the subs do a quick low rumble...

I driven a long and when that first beat struck, I noticed that the head lights dimmed with the beat... Then after that beat, the head lights went back to normal... I was like "Huh, thats weird..." and I threw in some rap CD that has a ton of bass bumps in it... The head lights dimmed with the beat...

The dimming is very slight too... I've never noticed it! But awhil back, a head light went out, and when my dad fiddled around with the head light, it lit up... Im thinking that the subs could be messin with the wiring or bulbs in the head lights... Or maybe my subs are a lil more powerful than i thought...i dunno

But yeah.. Has anyone else had this happen?

Absolutly right, a large capacitor is properly used to keep voltage constant in order to improve sound quality; there has to be enough power going to it for it to work right. Upgrade your wiring... Its an inexpensive start, it might be all that you need, and if you need anything more than that its gonna need upgraded anyways.

i agree... capacitor will help. it doesnt take a long time to recharge... its only like microseconds to milliseconds range for the capacitor to recharge it depends on the capacitor. it usually use to keep the voltage on specific level for this setup... But your capacitor is still connected to the same source of power in which same scenario even without the capacitor, it means if your electrical system is bad your capacitor will be non-sense either.

and a helpful additional info if you dont mind.
and also capacitor will help for a good sound of your speaker... if you want a clear sound of high frequency these are like voice, guitars bla bla bla.. that is a good fit for small speakers and tweeters you can series a capacitor to the speaker connection.. but you need to have the correct value of the capacitor ( capacitance) to the impedance (2ohms, 4ohms,8ohms) of your speaker.. this will serve as a filter for high frequency. and for the subwoofer and a good base these are you can series an inductor to your speaker.. this will filter the low frequencies like base and will create a solid bass sound... because it will eliminate also undesired frequencies called noise. this setup has an effect to power consumption as well but barely noticeable but guarantee it will improve the sounds of your system. but you need to have the correct value of capacitor and inductor based on the impedance of the speaker. setting up a good sound system doesnt required a lot of big speakers that only creating sounds like your slamming on the wall.. it looks good i admit it its accessories and decoration if wasnt not setup as it should be... hehehe
but if your your aiming good quality you can do it without too much accesories, its how you blend the sounds.. hahaha
