Im wanting to upgrade the audio of my 2006 Fiesta Zetec S. I have picked out the parts I want:

Speakers:

Amp:

Sub:

Now my question, with this setup is my alternator going to be able to supply enough power? I have read that my headlights could dim if the system is too powerful?

I don't think you would have any problems.

To avoid any risk of power sap,

Fit a 0.5 fared capacitor to the positive line feeding from the battery to the amp.

It provides a resivour of power

So the amp takes power from the resivour but th3 battery fills the resivour at its own normal pace,

Resulting in no strain atall ;)

I was reading about caps, some people saying they dont really help at all? Besides I can only see caps that are rated at 1.0 farad not 0.5. I guess I could setup the gear then if I have dimming light problems install a cap?

Yeah install it and if you get problems either fit a 1.0 fared or try a genuine pivot megarazin voltage stabiliser kit,

But only available from pivot website.

The ones on eBay are fake and drain your battery
