[QUOTE="066, post: 8825021, member: 687517"] Hi, my name is Dylan. Thanks for looking at my thread. Im trying to make sure I take the right next step with my electrical system. First, the truck is a Powerstroke diesel. Stock dual (lead acid) batteries and a 130a alternator. Big 3 already done with 1/0 welding cable. Im powering 2 CT Sounds 1500.1 (strapped at 2ohm ~1700 watts) and a JL 600/6 (4 and 2 ohm loads ~500 watts) At full power, voltage is dropping like a hammer (<13). At my normal-high listening level, voltage is fine but my lights still dim. Batteries are fairly new so I’d prefer to do the alt first. Which one will give me the best result though? [/QUOTE]
