I don't know if this will help, but in my Jetta, i used to have a really
big stereo, and i had a huge battery (diesel), but i would still get brown
outs a little when i pumped the juice .. So i put a small Gell Cell in
parallel with the normal battery (i was told not to do this, because it
could harm your alternator, but i never listen to what i'm told, and i've
never had a problem with it...), and this got rid of the problem .. Maybe
getting a bigger battery will help, but i don't know ;) .. I guess this msg
is just nonsense, like the rest of the posts i've made today.

Can someone hit me over the head with a 10lb sledge?
*BANG*
