[QUOTE="TheJuggla1, post: 6708153, member: 609399"] 2k Is quite high, I don't have much experience in higher wattage stereo, but I think dimming is going to happen that high. Don't forget your alternator isn't always putting out 140 Amps(and it still has to run all your vehicle electrical too.), maybe when your engine is like 4000revs it would put out a decent amount of amps. Are you having dimming problems while driving? If you are talking about idleling try putting it in neutral you will get a bit more amps out of your alternator and the more you rev it up the more your alternator will put you. Another thing that MIGHT help is making all wires as short as possible to minimize voltage drop. [/QUOTE]
