Can my alternator handle the system I'm about to put in?

[QUOTE="robertoyoung08, post: 7276998, member: 613565"] i still have my stock alt. i just ordered my h/o alt on monday, so its not here yet. now that i have the big 3 done, its helped my voltage stay up higher than it used to, but still, when i crank the volume my voltage goes down to the 11.xxx which is very low. too low for equipment to run at anyways, and i get very heavy dimming. all lights, dash lighting, and everything lit in my car dims like crazy. i hate it. thats the reason why i was forced to get the alt. cus i dont wana mess up my equipment or be forcing my car to handle a load thats too high for it. spent too much on my lexus to screw it up that easily. i do get pretty heavy diming at high outputs of my subs, and still a good amount at low volumes also. hopefully you have a different scenario though but work your way up and hope you can resolve it at early stages.
