use 0 AWG cable for your power and ground cable, then get a good Optima Battery and change your alternator too, then maybe if you still have some cash left get a CAP

Caps = waste of money.
There are ways to eliminate dimming lights, caps aren't one of them, they are merely a band aid fix.
Give us some info...
Any other amps in the car?
What Guage Power cable do you have in there?
DIY or pro installed?
Where are the earth points for the amps? are they sanded back to bare metal??
What battery you using?
Answer those and we might be able to help you better :)
