In short: I installed a 2 channel Sony 380WRMS amp connected to a subwoofer only and my lights start dimming when the subwoofer hits... new battery, new amplifier, big 3... lights still dimming.... I measure the resistance in all my grounds and they are 0.2OHMS or less... used 4awg wire for the...

would this clamp meter do it??? http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Clamp-Meter-Tester-Multimeter/dp/B001G8RW06/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1234126115&sr=8-1 there are a lot of clamp meters but they are over a hundred... is this one a crappy one??? thanks...

How can i measure the output of my alternator????

well, one of the reasons i picked a small amp was to avoid putting a lot of money into upgrading the electrical system of the car... i am seriously considering on keeping the amp and woofer or not....

Its a very small dimm...

cx-7heaven, I put the all the lights on (including the interior light), defroster on, heating on and blinker on (the 4 lights)... no dimming... i even turned on the stero on a low level of volume... no dimming.... however there was a little bit of dimming when i used the power windows.... what...

Hi, I am going to make this post a little bit long because I feel I need to include the whole picture to be able to get some help... but in a nutshell I have a 380RMS amp with a 1.0 farad capacitor, got new battery, new alternator, big 3 and the lights still dim when the volume is a little bit...
