in regards to my audio system i installed about a month ago, I have noticed a one thing that un nerves me a bit.

what i have installed is

1 ONE - Rockford Fosgate 200/400 Watt SUB
2. ONE - 800 Watt/400 bridge power AMP (pioneer brand)

on my original 2001 Protege ES Stock deck.

Everything is great perfect, crisp sound and all, but what i am noticing is a 5 - 10% power hit with strong bass going thru the amp.

example, highlights fading slightly during bass thumping. its enough to notice but not enough to be alarming

I mean power drain I guess is normal but anyone shed some light if i should worry.

a capcitor is expensive anyone know where to find one cheap...

 

nope, either buy the $100 capacitor or pay about $350 for a super high output alternator!!
