That's a real good idle number, but if you are constantly pulling more than the alt can provide you'll probably have some dimming.Think about this. If you are running your system full bore and it really makes 2500 watts, then with an efficiency of 70% you'd be drawing around 255 amps from the alternator (not including the draw from the other components in the car). In this case (which wouldn't happen too much) you would get some voltage drops and dimming.</blockquote>
