| If it is making your lights dim when the bass booms, you could either get a bigger battery, or think about getting a capacitor for your sub's amp power supply. Stereo shops etc sell these things. |

| yeah man, a capacitor. they cost a few hundred bycks but they make your stereo more reliable, in terms of constant power source, and don't make shit like your headlights flicker. it also weakens all other electrical signals in your car when the bass booms. |

How big is your amp?
If you have a decent alternator and new voltage regulator it shouldng flicker. |
