[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 3406097, member: 551352"] yea but honestly hes probably in the range of 2-3 ohms after impedance rise, so i wouldnt say efficiency is out the window. however, with that electrical you should not be dropping to low 11's. something is going on. either the alt is not putting out a true 200a, or you have a bad connection somewhere. also, expect to get dimming even on a somewhat stout electical system. you will dim when voltage drops, even if its not that significant of a drop. you wont get rid of ALL dimming until you have a voltage that never changes (which will require a decent amount of batteries and that 200a alt). for reference look at Lakota. hes running a kx2500 off a 200a mean green alt, plus an hc1800 and an hc2400, and still gets voltage drops. he has never states how low they go but as you can see, even what is considered a pretty good electrical system will still suffer voltage drops. btw: dimming wont hurt anything, so long as your not dropping a sever amount of volts (try to stay in the 13's) [/QUOTE]
