New System, need suggestions for electrical. w/ video

[DSHORT 10+ year member]

So with my christmas money I bought two twelve inch L7s and a rockford fosgate 1500bd.. I have Knukonceptz 4 gauge through my car on stock electrical. It is pretty loud, but my headlights dim like crazy. I was just wondering what I need to buy to just increase my electrical power. I was thinking I prolly just need to upgrade to 0/1, big 3, and a new battery. I don't think I really need a new alt considering im pushing 1500 watts. BTW, I have a 2004 Ford Explorer V6 4.0 L.... but any suggestions on a battery or any input would be awesome. thanks guys

here is a shitty video of the system:

What is the specs of that box? and yea i would start with 1/0 throughout ( have some in my FS thread if you need it) and Big3 in 1/0 and if it still dims bad get something like a Kinetik HC 1200.

Haha... well my family is lazy and don't wanna go shopping so I got around 500 and blew it all christmas on this... But anyway, yeah Im just running a stock average battery... But yeah I think the first things I'm gonna do is 0 gauge throughout, Big 3, then prolly throw a battery in the back. Right on thanks for the advice

Not sure on the specs, I bought it like 2 days ago and havent really got to mess with it yet. But yeah I get paid Friday so I'm gonna look into buying some stuff here online so I will check your stuff out. But you def. answered my question about what kind of battery to get I was checkin the 1200 out. Thanks

dude, I know its alot of money, but I would invest in a better alternator for your car. My mom has that same car and has electrical problems with her stock alternator. had to get it replaced twice. just to be on the safe side.
