if that doesnt fix it then add batteries, after that add a HO alternator

how much power is the amp pushing

i got a 60x(2) rms alpine amp going to my four-way pioneer premier 6x9's that's it. but the amp never really made a diff with the dimming it did this with everything stock no cd player upgraded speakers nothing new.

But if added another battery wouldn't it put more strain on my stock altenator .

i got another battery i could add i have 4 gauge ran to my amp. couldn't i just hook the other battery to that power wire, then ground that batt to the body since i have a unibody car. Then run powerwire to the amp and just put a ground straight from the batt to the amp???//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

how you can control your finger on the volume buttom will determine if you want to strain that alternator. you can have multiple batteries on a weak *** 80 amp alternator and be cool.
