Well I've got just barely enough feet of 4 gauge wire to reach the capacitor, something like 14 or 15 feet, and prolly 8-10 inches of 4 gauge from the cap to the amp. There is a considerably higher amount of dimming without the cap so I don't think that is the problem either. The battery is fine but I never thought to check the alternator since it's brand new. It was a remanufactured one tho...
