Do your lights still dim even though you are using a capacitor?

even with a cap the light will still dim just not as bad but you can added another battery, upgrade to a high out put alt, changing the battery might help the dimming but not as much. and dont change the wires, copper allows more flow of currents. but if your running long power/ground then i would go with awg gauge since you already have 4. also you can do the Big 3 (alternator positive to battery positive, battery negative to chassis, engine ground to chassis).

Id recommend Alpine Type-S Speakers or JL Audio all around. What kind of amp is it? 4-Channel? 5? Mono? If the sub can handle the 2000W amp, Id get a 4Ch for the speakers. All that would need a new battery for sure though.

kinetic would better but if your not going to use it for comp then the yellow top will do.
