y wud i need a capacitor i hav a boss4000 amp wil it sop my headlights from dimming

It will certainly help, how much depends on the output of your car's alternator, the capacity of it's battery and how loud and long you run that big amp. This capacitor is actually a bit bigger than necessary to keep your headlights from dimming with the Boss 4000 running "wide open", at least for a while. Just keep in mind that your alternator may not have enough output to keep up. If you like to run it loud-and-long and gradually see your headlights dimming again, don't waste your money on a bigger capacitor or car battery, it will just take longer for the same thing to happen. Get a higher-output alternator instead. Hope this helps!

Will greatly decrease the of power drain on ALL vehicle systems when at idle or full charging mode while improving bass response as it acts as an extra battery.

It has a dimmer wire. From what I read online that's what it's supposed to be for. But when I hooked it into a buddy of mines car, turning the lights on made no difference. I'm not sure if it was because of the car, if maybe that isn't what it's for or because it simply doesn't work.

I have noticed an inprovent in the sound on deep hits however if you are more concerned about power loss and lights dimming I have not had much benefit from this capacitor. My 95 Camry is just not ment to supply that much power.

Hey thanks for the question. There is not a capacitor, the light requires pedaling to remain lit. They do however increase in brightness the faster you go.

It will, you are going to want to wire it in parallel. Also you want atleast 5 farad capacitor.

No, it will not flash your headlights. This is designed for the lower loads of LED lights. Your headlights draw a lot of amperage and will require a wig-wag flasher unit designed specifically for headlights.

Get an HID conversion kit. That should help with you lows unfortunately it won't help you high beam.

This seems more like a power issue than a ballast issue. Especially in the case of your subs turned up. It also depends on how your ballasts are connected... (meaning to the factory headlight wiring or through a relay which provides direct power from the battery.) The relay setup is the better option as sometimes the factory wiring isnt able to carry the amount of amps the ballast require, especially at startup which is the highest load. You can take a look at this to see if it resolves the issue before replacing the ballast. My second recommendation is an addition to your music setup, which is a farad capacitor. This will act as a power buffer for when your sub is turned up. You can check youtube to have a better understanding of a relay setup for you ballast. And also how to integrate a capacitor into your music setup.

It works fine 24v-12v but only 20amp I need higher amperage, it doesn't even run the headlights I installed. I was told to get a 48v-12v 35amp works better for my system.

Yeah. Just need to have the right wire leads to your amp. Check with a local car audio place cause I couldn't tell ya. Also need to have power to the amp from the battery.

Just like amplifiers, when it comes to capacitors the quality is much more important than the #s printed on them. The 2 farad will be plenty because the RF is way higher quality than the competition. That is as long as you are using the correct wire gauge and have enough power coming out of your alternator. Otherwise the battery will drain and you'll notice dimming... for one thing...

Caps are junk they dont work at all and alot of pros will tell you that a cap will hurt your electrical system. I would look up big 3 upgrade and or a powercell but with 3000 rms u will need to upgrade your starter battery and run a 2nd powercell battery u can get them on here for like 100 bucks good luck man

Yes. They have converters for 48 volt and 36 volt systems so be sure to order the right one. They will convert the higher voltage down to 12 volts at 10 amps maximum, perfect for headlights and maybe a radio etc...

depends on your car, i bought this kit for my chrysler 300 high beams. because my day driving lights are on the high beams, i needed a relay that would not switch on at 6 volts but would at 12volts. so if this is not a problem for you then you don't need it

A loose ground, bad or loose terminals, or even a weak alternator can also cause dimming lights. As long as the battery tests good, and the alternator is doing its job, I'd look into getting a capacitor.It's a sort of battery that wires up to the sound system to help power it when you turn the music up.

Try mouser.com. they have all kinds of capacitors. Make sure you order exact one. Good luck

You usually need 2 farad per thousand watts of power for it to work properly otherwise its useless. Big amps use a lot of power from a car when the bass hits, that's why lights dim. I have this farad cap on a 300 watt infinity reference amp and works perfect for that. But Def. Get a bigger one for a bigger amp. Like I said I wouldn't hook this up to anything more than 500-600 watts as I am sure it is overrated. It's a nice cap though. Keep me posted
