[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8360204, member: 540940"] I disagree. There's simply a lot of current demand over a very short period of time and the alt is unable to respond quickly enough to avoid a little voltage drop. I don't see it as a "problem" as much as just a symptom of a high output sound system. Ever since I got to the ~1000w rms range (~10 yrs ago) I've never had headlights that didn't dim at least a little at high volume -- with amps set to never clip. I don't blast it all that often, and even less often at night, so I never bothered trying to correct it. [/QUOTE]
