Just make SURE you do the big 3 first. You might not even have to upgrade anything else. I know of several people running 1-1.5k wrms on stock electrical but had the big 3 done in 1/0 gauge.

 

[cows0136 10+ year member]

Yeah thats what ima do and see what happens i hope my small 105 alternator is strong enough. I don't know much about alternators

 

[cows0136 10+ year member]

Yeah my audio shop said they won't do it because the big three can actually burn up an alternator faster if it is a stock alternator. So it doesn't look like i can do the big three. They said to just get a second battery and that would help

 

[Tek18 10+ year member]

dude do the big 3, an extra battery would honesty put more stress on the alt than the big 3? because the alt has to work harder to charge both of the batteries up.

big 3 will just help power move throughout your car easier, stopping your dimming issue.
