[QUOTE="bass_lover1, post: 3987088, member: 555256"] Take this for what it's worth. I'm running on the stock 90A alt in my Passat, and a factory sized battery (autozone replacement). I'm also using more amps than you and they also draw more current, I've got 0awg running from the battery back to my trunk. The ONLY upgrade I did was for the battery ground, because I had extra 0awg after I ran the power wire, and my lights do not dim at all, even at full tilt. It's actually kinda sad, but if I pull the switch to roll up all 4 windows, the lights dim more doing that than they do with my stereo running full volume. I'd keep the stock battery and alt, use 0awg for power wire and ground. If you have dimming issues after that, then you can tackle the big three, but my guess is that you could probably get by without it. [/QUOTE]
