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? -------------------- ![]() 2003 Nissan Murano SE |

QUOTE(playr158 @ Jul 31, 2005 - 8:23 PM) a capacitor will work.....its not a bad thing and they are a good thing to have... but you will also what to go through and make your stock ground wires (the thin wires coming of the negative terminal of your battery) up to 4 gauge wire...its really easy to do your local best buy or what not could help you with more information about the wire size and such... also an optima yellow top will help as it is a deep cycle battery and can help with the power drain, and altinators are readily upgradable on our cars but if you can find a larger then 80amp then thats a good idea as well [right][snapback]318780[/snapback][/right] I know everybody is arguing about a cap. I had the same problem as you Sabrina, and i got to agree with playr. Caps work. It solved my dimming problems when the bass hit. It was funny, my other amp would cut out (it didn't have a cap), but the bass would keep kicking(it had a cap). I bought another cap and that solved it. I am going to add a YELLOW optima battery soon, they have 2 yellow ones, you want the bigger one. But from my personal experience caps work. And they are cheap on ebay.
