Actually I'm interested in any advice that would stop my light dimming problem. When I turn on some real bass my whole dash dims and I can actually notice my headlights dim (can't be good for them). I decided to turn on the dash voltmetre and play Bass I Love You (love it). Pretty much the whole song the volts sat around 11.8v-12v. Even dipped to 11.4 at one point.
I'm only running 1400wrms to the subs and 600wrms to the splits. I already have 0gauge to the amps and 0gauge from the negative terminal to the strut tower. Next on my list is replacing the alternator to positive wire with 0gauge. I was holding off placing som 0gauge from the negative to chassis because I would have thought the the factory wire and the 0 to the strut tower would easily handle my power demands. I have a spare bosch gold battery if that will help. But I'm hoping that I won't have to get a bigger alternator as they are quite expensive.
Oh and yes my grounds are good. Professionally installed amp by a good installer and I still checked the grounds myself.
