need help

[tan da man]

hey guys

imma currently driving a 2002 corolla conquest 1ZZFE

my system as is

is

standard 65amp alternator( i think)

Clarion MAX386vd hu

Alpine MRP650 600wrms amp

2 x Clarion 300wts subs

600cca battery

4 gauge wiring for amp (pos, earth), battery to chassis, battery to eng block, 4 gauge extra cable from amp earthing point to battery

my amp earthing point is a completely sanded back hole of where the child seat achor point was.

my amp is in the boot area of my hatchback

when i turn it up around 3/5 of full volume, all my lights starts to dim/pulse

i wanna ask advice from corolla owners of the same model, and similar or higher spec sound system, is how do you eliminate or greatly reduce this problem

thanks

any info would be appreciated

1) check your battery

2) check your alternator

you know what voltage your car is reading and whether it fluctuates or not when the sound system is running?

h.i.d's dont dim lol

also, capacitor helped me in that area !

if he said he had HIDs then yes they don't dim so i was assuming he had normal halogens because he didn't specify :P

also i find that newer cars these days don't need the capacitor unless your running an insane super dooper mad fulli sik computer in your car

i had one in my old corty because the alternator output was 35 amps -_-

sorry i thought the same thing about the hid's.. but i kinda said it like " hids dont dim " as in i have them and they dont dim, ie get hid's ALREADY !!! haha
