I don't know if its just cause this is an older car or if my alternator might be going bad but does anyone elses interior/headlights flicker and get dimmer when their electrical fans cut on? Or when I have my subs on (not really that high powered either) my lights dim. I know when I have them up (I have a 1500 watt amp w/o a cap) that'll cause it. Just wanna check to see if I should get a new one.

actually the yellow top isnt THAT great of a battery unless theres a lot of bouncing and chances ofgetting sideways. i have a big marine battery and that does the job well. 1000 cranking amps, 125 amp hours. the yellowtop was same cranking amps and only 55 amp hours. amp hours = the number of hours a battery can supply a 10a load w/o dropping 80% of the original voltage. then mulitiplied by 10 (basically how many hours it can run a 1 amp load)
