Question:
I will be running one amp at 1000 watts rms and the other at 70 x 4 rms. I currently have my 70 x 4 amp and a 350 x 1 amp and my lights dim pretty good when the bass hits. I have a 2003 Dodge Neon SXT which comes with an 85 amp alt stock. What do you suggest? I plan on upgrading the big 3 with 0 gauge most likely.

What is the benefit of having Dual Batteries in a Car Audio Setup?
A cap isn't design to be used in this type of situation as it cannot produce more power. The purpose of a cap is to provide power when the electrical system has SMALL fluctuations, not large current (amperage) demands.Wiil a 900 watt 5 channel amp work for 2 400 watt subs?
You will need to get a bigger alternator.

You will need Microsoft Excel.
This guide also has a section to correctly set the gain control on the amp and you will need a multi-meter and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3 to use it.

Help... my car's rear speakers don't always work, what's wrong?
first check with Dodge...then check with parts stores.. u should be able to gt a 105Im looking for a new amp, blew my old one.any suggestions?
the more you spend on an alternator the longer its going to last because of how much power the amps are going to draw.get a good battery also or else you will have trouble with the original one too: try getting an optima(i think red top)
A high output alternator is one route to take. Another option that is both cheap and easy ( not to mention will help the system and protect your car ) is to install a capacitor or "cap" between your battery and amp. This will act like another battery, storing a charge so it doesn't drain your battery making the lights dim. It also insulates your power consumption from the alternator so it doesn't have to work as hard. All alternators are not designed to "charge" a battery or run appliances, they are simply there to maintain the battery's charge. you can run multiple caps in series and parallel and Monster Cable makes a very good one.
u should be fine without one, the u should get a cap. id go with a 2 farad cap.. 1000 watts= 1 farad. or about. so with a 2 farad u should not need a new alternator..
i'd say get a better alt. i have a 01 grand am, and i am pulling about the same amount of power. but my car stock has a 105 amp alt. thats wasnt enough power for me, so i doubt 85 will do the trick.
