[QUOTE="thegnman, post: 8405867, member: 664593"] I'm running 2 Skar Sk1500s strapped to 3 hds3 12s in 8cu ported box and 2 PPI power amps for mids. I'm still having light dimming and major voltage drops with a true 240amp alternator and a xs power 3400 battery. 5 farad cap. 0g everywhere and big 3. The electrical was the 1st thing I did when building the system and I thought it would suffice. I never run the stereo with the truck off. I have been looking at a dual alternator setup. I can order a dual alt. Kit for $300 and have my local starter/alternator shop build me another alternator for $300. Am I wasting $600+ or should I spend the money somewhere else and take a different approach. I eventually wanna upgrade to hdc's 12s and 3 sub amps one on each Hdc3 12 but not until I have the power to run them. Thx for any help [/QUOTE]
