[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4721565, member: 584454"] Assuming you're running your sub amps @ 1 ohm, the HO alt is too small to handle 3000RMS at full tilt with a running car. That kinetik HC1400 is [I]way[/I] too small, as well. What battery under your hood? Do you have a volt meter in your car to watch your voltage? I assume you've done the big three in 1/0? How is your ground connected in your trunk? Weak grounds can cause voltage dips. You should move the HC1400 to under your hood and then get 1 maybe even 2 HC2400 or powermaster D3400s in the trunk. This will help prevent the large dip in voltage you get when your bass first hits (this dip won't show up on a volt meter because it is so short) and your regulator on the alt plays catch up.
