[QUOTE="Johnny Drama, post: 1456231, member: 554719"] Couple things I notice... 4awg wire kit...1200rms+whatever it may be clipping I would step up to 2 or 1/0awg (My opinion) Next...where is your ground? Is it tight? was it sanded good? This can cause it to shut down when current demand is greater then your ground. Last...ligts diming and electrical items cutting off is a bad sign, check your connections to make sure they are tight, do a "big 3" upgrade (it does help) Look into a better battery or alt if your draw is more then what you system can produce. 145a @ 40% reserve =58a allowed to the stereo... 1200 watt amp/12.8v=~93a max current draw. If the amp is clipping you are more into the current draw. IMO it really sounds like you need to up your electrical system. Take a DMM and hook it up to your + and - terminals on your amp. Play some music with you car running at idle (max listening volume you listen to) If the voltage EVER gets below 13v you know you have a problem. [/QUOTE]
