dibs on the first smd chevy silverado box

About 1300 Watts, with 2 Amplifers. I already have an Optima, Im going to look into the Big 3....does this noticeably help?

No I haven't done the big three..how do I do that? I think its 110? Its a 2001 Chevy Silverado

Here's my problem. With 1000W amp and 2 12s, I get voltage drop pretty bad at idle. I'm chillin at like 12V when im slammin stopped. When I get past about 1200 RPMs its fine, well kind of. I still notice the lights dimming but the gauge doesnt drop so low. My question is...Is this bad? I mean bad for like the accessories, fuel pump, window motors, etc. I don't really mind the lights dimming cause my HIDs dont dim like standard halogens would...if it is, what size alternator should I get? I don't have enough room to add any extra batterys.

Well what did he end up doing?

I am getting a Sears "credit" card, basically it's a credit card with half the interest that goes along with a standard credit card. I figure I can buy something I've always wanted...like a big TV or a nice computer at Sears, put it on the card and pay it off in full, it builds the same credit a regular credit card does. but that way and your not paying out the ass on interest.

after last night...and using my stereo it's almost like my amp/subs start working after my truck has been on for 5-10mins... if i shut my truck off go do something and then get back in they dont work, then all of the sudden they decide to start working like when im just driving down a street. still going to reground my amp today though...

i know the ground is on the back seat bolt right now lol, but my old amp worked fine with it.. ill check it out though.

i live in socal man, i think thats kinda far for you? haha

yeah i know, the protection light isnt on. i dont understand it...just on my way back from the store my stereo was working flawlessly.... get back in it to get food and it sounds like one sub is missing...then it starts hitting idk man. Ive spent almost all day trying to fix the thing.

???

What makes me think the amps faulty is my subs make a popping noise...like clipping but not clippping because it does it when the volume is all the way down and no song playing either....does that sound like an amp issue?

my led is red, but yeah it stays on the entire time. and no my amp never got hot, the amp and subs pounded the first day i had them i mean i my subs were slappin and the amp barely got warm.

i have a pioneer avh-p4100 deck monster rca cables and im running stinger 4 gauge power wire. rca connections are all good, the amp stays on the entire...well atleast the kicker LED, the protect light never turns on either. im stumped...

I was running my old amp Kenwood kac 7202 with the subs and they worked just fine before i got the new amp. i bought the amp from hifisoundconnection.com any ideas?
