acctually i would say that if your lights are dimming than check your altanator, cables battery, belt.... if it'a all good than you need an HO alternator.

i had a buddy that was running 3 audiobahn flameq subs at 1500 Watts@1ohm total and his alternator went out... everytime the bass hit his lights would dim and his RPM's would drop big time... till it died... he bought another alternator and it did it again... and again.... he went through 3 alternators in a month...

what is your setup?
i mean just adding a battery and an alternator might be covering up another problem... i would just suggest doig some diagnostics before your run around buying all this stuff
