Tina,
You are on the right thinking, however, the problem is not with the subs. The amp is drawing too much power from the car, thus steading power from the rest of the electrical systems of the car. You have 3 options, buy a high amp output alternator and battery, add a second bettery, or add a capacitor.
Adding a capacitor is probably the cheapest way to go, just make sure you buy the right one that can handle the amp.
Good luck

Defninitely likely. When you are using that many speakers and trying to run them off of one amp, the amp draws more juice from the battery which will cause the lights to dim. The best bet is for him to either buy a capacitor or the battery that stores extra energy. Does the lights on the inside dim when the bass hits?

Above what everyone else is saying... if he only has 350 watts to 3 subs... he isnt getting much... its trying to run that amp to its max compasity CONSTINTLY. I have 2 sony explodes p5 series, 1100watts each. I did the same thing, have both hooked to a monoblock amplifier. And all the bass notes hit the lights would dim. So i went and got a Second amplifier and it never happend again. Word of advice to your son... spend the extra money and get a more powerful amp(s) Get bigger bang, and no more dim lights. He'll love it.

Alternators don't run down. Batteries run down. In most cases when putting in high powered amplifiers in a vehicle sound system it will draw enough that the alternator can not keep up with the demands, and the battery will go flat in time. In most cases they recommend an upgraded alternator to take care of the problem (see http://www.alternatorparts.com/ for more on the problem).
Frankly I don't see the purpose on having a sound system that can break your windows and annoy everyone else on the road, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

even with what human beings have self belief, you may harm a sub by employing below powering it. The sub that asserts 3000 watts is probable only 3 hundred watts. you will desire to checklist the kind style of the two the sub and the amp. additionally, if the amp says 350 watts then its probable only one hundred seventy five watts rms which might nevertheless below skill the sub. you mustn't bypass with inexpensive manufacturers (lanzar, pyle...) for subs or amps reason they are no longer CEA compiant, meaning they dont use standardized scores for his or her products. meaning they write despite they experience like.

You don`t need a cap! Best thing for that is to just add a 2nd battery for the stereo to run off of!Then it should be fine....

Save yourself time, just get an upgraded alternator. Simple as that.
