thanks for the help klaus, yea i usually would unplug the terminal, but i was working on the car during the winter and needed the power on to test some things, so i just left it hooked up, bad mistake, battery is dead now.

I got an optima battery, there very good, but what u need to fix the dimming problem is a capacitor, u run it in between the power wire from the battery to the amplifier. what it does is store power and shoots it out when u need it so it doesnt take the power directly from the battery when your subs thomp, that way the power is still running to your other electricals.

Optima is a brand of battery. It's made by Interstate - and is a gel cell type of sealed battery. There are a few different models:
Red top - standard starting battery. Yellow top - Deep cycle battery (designed to be discharged & recharged) Orange top - same as red top except the terminals are reversed. |
