Have him take it to a rebuilder and have it custom built. He is using caps for the heavy draw stuff, right?

she's running an alpine type x, and to what she says, 1000w rms. thinks 2g amp wiring kit, has even tried 0g alternator wiring. and headlights still dim. no capacitor, is this an actual appropriate time for a capacitor?

yes, this is the appropriate time for a capacitor.

 

[baxtej44]

what kind of capacity should she be looking for? any specific features in a capacitor she should be looking for? materials? etc?
