Honda Car Forum

I have a 96 honda accord lx, I have put a sound system in it. The amp is
pushing around 900 watts RMS. Which is constantly. Anyways of coarse I know
my lights and stuff are going to dim. But my rpms drop when the bass hits
almost to the bottom line. I just installed an capasitor, but only helped
alittle with everything but not much. SHould i upgrade the battery or beef
up alternator? Also will this wear down the alternator more or possibly mess
up the engine somehow? Please help!

battry only like a long term, slow drain cap. go alternator. it wont cause
any damage to engine or ancilleries.

Get a life. Turn down the tunes, listen to the news and learn about the
world. Then you won't have to worry about your car, you can worry about
your country. Your car won't last as long as your country should.

I have a 92 Honda Civic SI, so I know what you're talking about. If
