[QUOTE="ultimate157, post: 1916573, member: 566638"] Here's my setup right now: 8-Gauge wire battery + running to my 200w rms 600 peak RF amp for my subs. 8-Gauge wire battery + running to my 100w rms 400 peak Jensen amp for my surrounds. Both are grounded close to the amps to the chassis with a clean ground. My lights dim pretty badly with such little power. It looks like my chassis to battery ground is a mere 8-gauge wire. If I run 8-Gauge from battery - to my amps, should that fix my dimming lights? I have a bunch of 8-gauge laying around but no 2-gauge (upgrading soon) for the big-3. This is my daily driver which is why I need a quick fix. [/QUOTE]
