[QUOTE="Bossman150, post: 8380439, member: 665289"] My installer says he has the VFL 100.1 set at about 500watts for the break in period, and my little SS 4.500 can't be doing much more than 200 watts RMS. Last night after I switched my sub to a bigger sealed box from a smaller ported I noticed my headlights would dim on strong bass hits at higher volume. The sealed box is 1.2 cf which is double the size of a sealed box JL recommends, would that cause the amp to pull more current? My stock alternator is 120amp I think, so right now both amps together should not be pulling more than 800 watts RMS. The dimming is at idle, I have not noticed it while driving but that doesn't mean its not happening. The big 3 is next on my list next month, way over my spending budget this month. I just did not think it would happen until I added a second w6. My battery is brand new too. [/QUOTE]
