Check battery voltage while vehicle is off, while vehicle is running, and while playing music and having the diming issue. I don't think you have a ground issue personally. I think you have an alternator or battery problem.

The. XS power battery and the JSalternator are new... What brands are u running? Ive already sent the alternator back to JS because of the dimming and it was supposed to have a output of 300 amps. JS wont tell me what they did to it while they had it but nothing changed when i got it back... Worst customer service ever. I have no idea if they even tested it.. No test results given.You have an alternator or battery issue as Pop said. I run a 250 with almost 4K in wattage and I don't drop from 14.2 at all regardless of rpm's.
I did load test the battery right before i sent the JS alternator in for service and it tested good then... Jeep as been sitting for the 2 weeks the alt was gone. What brand alternator u run? JS alternator customer service has been a nightmare to deal with.. No phone number, wont return requests to call and wont answer emails..Take the battery to autozone and have them load test it. I'm putting my money on the alternator being **** though.

Yeah idk why i went cheap... U always get what u pay for!I run DC Power alt. I spent the extra money with them to insure I wouldn't have any problems since it's a PITA to replace. Going on 10 years with no problems.
