[QUOTE="enzowho, post: 2485951, member: 568136"] You have dimming issues. A forum search will give you a whole lot of solutions to your problem. To get you on the right track here is a basic overview of what you can do. (1) Do the big 3 upgrade. There is a sticky about how to do it. I went from a voltage drop of ~12.5v to ~13.5v after doing this upgrade. It might fix your problem, might not...it should be done though. Cost: 10ft 4ga wire with fuse (2) Set your gains correctly on your amplifier. Again there is a sticky about this. If they are set incorrectly (say maxed out) you are putting more strain on your electrical system. Cost: $10-15 if you don't already access to a multimeter. (3) Upgrade your alternator. There are several brands out there: Iraggi, HO Alternators, Mean Grean, Ohio Gen, Excessive Amperage... Cost: somewhere around 300-500 bucks. (4) Add an extra battery. If you go this route get a deep cycle battery. Cost: ~150 without an isolator, [I]probably[/I] like 250 with an isolator. I listed those in the order I would do them. Do 1 and 2 for sure then check your dimming issues. To set your gains you will need a multimeter (DMM), so you may want to check your supply voltage (alternator/battery voltage) when you are bumping. That way you can see how bad your problem really is. Hope that helps out a little bit. [/QUOTE]
