Ok I have a VW Jetta and I had a friend install a 1600watt Power Aqustics amp with a 12" 300watt woofer. What can I do to stop my headlights from dimming, and if I do nothing will my car eventually die ?

Reground your battery and alternator, A capacitor will do no justice in stop the lights from dimming.

No security system can beat the tow truck :(

Do the big 3 (search button top right of this page) as recommended above, and search for a high output alternator. Yes, you can easily kill the alternator with that kind of draw. Be judicious with the volume control until you can make the above happen.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Thankyou so much. It would be embarrasing to have my car die in the middle of traffic. LOL
