I just put a new amp and subs in my car and whenever the bass hits (at very high volume) the lights dim. Is there a replacement alternator that I can use in my '05 GT to take care of the problem??

Any help is great!!!

Thanks
Chad

not sure about the alternator. there are other products out there that can "save" energy for this situation. i forget what they are called, but a lightning cap rings a bell. i think they come in 1/2 farad and 1 farad versions.

you could try the sound shop and see what response you get there.
