^^^^^ good setup. Ya, dimming lights could be many issues but usually not enough power on supply. Caps do help but must be sized properly. My last setup has a 15 farhad capacitor called"the cap" and looked like a large amp. Also ran 2 optima yellow top batteries with a 160 amp alternator built by my local alternator shop. Power wire was a single 4/0 cable(about the size of my thumb) and ground was same size. This was for somewhere in the range of 2100 watts(subs only) in 3 mtx 225HO amps pushing 6-12" JL audio W3's. Component amps usually not much of an issue.
Now i have stock stereo.
