caps are only good if you have no voltage drop to help smooth out the peaks, other than that they are just paper weights IMO, do the big 3 and find a good battery and you will be fine, i have the big 3 and 2 crappy batteries (for now) and my voltage sits at 14.6 at idle

My voltage at idle is 14+ with low volume. I need to crank it up and turn the hids on and see if im getting a drop.

Like I said, deep cell battery and upgrade the grounds will fix it. I'm nearing 2000w RMS and have no dimming of my HIDs or anything like that.
