bass hits, lights dim :( time for big3?
I noticed that my lights dim when bass hits, people tell me to get a capacitor but i now it wont solve the problem. I want to do the big3 upgrade and see if that works first. where in Burnaby BC can I get 0 gauge wires?

Alpine type R 15'
stock deck (hooked up with a RCA)
from what i know its 700watts and from some calculations that i found online, its:
700watts/0.7 = 1000watt
1000watt / 13V = 77
and my civic is running 30-40 so im like 37+- above the limit.
and big3 supposed to reduce it a lot.
i need to know where in Burnaby I can get it?

One more thing, does the light dim car off? if it still does try some booster cable from the neg of the batt to the body and then if it still dim the big three will not solve your problem.

With that load, 4awg for the big three is more than enough (as long it's real copper)
