[QUOTE="RChillin, post: 8349795, member: 661444"] Hey everyone. Recently I changed my ground to clean up wires and built a new box. With the new setup my electrical seems to be in HORRIBLE shape. My lights used to dim, and the bass would hit hard. This setup was run at 1 ohm, pulling about 1500 rms. Now, my lights and even amp lights (Hifonics) dims extremely. The bass isnt as loud, but I also tuned my box lower so I expected it some, but not this much. Even running on 4 ohms, 600ish rms, the lights dim bad still. I wonder this to be a grounding issue, or simply just electrical. By alt is charging strong (14.5v) and my battery is a constant 12.9 not running. I havent done big 3 but will when I order lugs. Thanks guys. NOTE: When I put new ground on, I filed out the lug hole to fit around bolt. Before it would get stuck and twist my wire when I would loosen/tighten it. This reduced the amount of contact metal for the ground. [/QUOTE]
