![]() Adding a capacitor with the correct farad, in some cases, will curve your amplifier power drawing spikes enough to limit headlight dim. A capacitor is made to curve the spikes in power from the battery to the Amplifier, to create consistent 12v power. Although curing headlight dim is far down on the list for a Capacitor’s use, a capacitor might be the solution to your problem. There are a few solutions to this problem: If you are experiencing headlight dimming when you have your radio turned up with aftermarket amplifiers and subwoofers, your stereo is pulling too much power for the alternator to keep up. Check your ground wires and find a better place to ground them, e.g. Alternator Wine is cause by having a bad ground to either your head unit or your speakers’ amplifier. If you hear a wining noise that fluctuates with the RPMs of your vehicle, and lessens when the car engine is turned off, you are dealing with Alternator Wine. Problem: Alternator Wine Possible Solution: Disconnect all output channels and see if it will return to normal operation. Also, if one of the output channels are shorted out, or you have a blown speaker, many aftermarket amplifiers will enter protection mode. If you have a signal RCA wire that is shorting out, this could be your problem so check to see if your RCAs are in-tact and not shorted.
