you could always replace your subs and amp with my L715s and Rockford Fosgate 1501BD amp.

hehe if I was going to replace mine I would just use my 2 JL 10W7's I got laying around collecting dust.

I think it may be the Q series actually after looking at it. I really dont remeber its been about 4 years since i bought and i looked at a few different ones. I think its the Q2300.

if I get a cap how do I determine which one to get? is their certain brands I should look at or does amps determine size?

1 farad is good for 1000w, 2 farad is good for 2000w, etc.
thats how i've heard it... but IIRC, that only fixes dimming lights, but puts MORE strain on the alt...

i thought the dimming lights where just a problem on the 99-00 models? according to the big 3 wire upgrade threads its just for the 99-00 models.

dimming lights occurs on 01s too haha. I know my lights dim when i have system going and hell my lights dim if i have the windows up and hit the switches for the windows. and i even have a cap but idk if it working right since the display is off on it (i think i broke it trying to take it apart) but its main purpose right now is to allow me to go from )gauage to 4 gauge.

dimming may occur in any car with a good amount of power draw for subs.. happens in my friends pt cruiser every time the bass hits. The simple solution is a cap to allow a steady flow of power to the amp, but the downside is it causes much more draw on the alt...

Hmm I guess I dont see the point to even put one if its just gonna drain the alt more than what the system already does.

every time the word "cap" comes up, i want to shoot somebody.
