  14. Abnormal headlight dimming

    So I drive an 03 focus, have grounds done in 4 gauge the alternator wire is still 8 gauge... but regardless my car idles at about 14.12~14.27. However when the bass hits my headlights dim and all interor lights dim bad. So I think well my voltage must be dropping maybe I have a bad ground or I need to upgrade my charging wire. Amp is an alpine mrp 500 pushing 2 4 ohms subs wired to 2 ohms. Amp suggest 8 gauge I used 4 gauge, check voltage at amp only about ~.1 less than at batt. When the bass hits the voltage at the battery never drops below 12.9 and at the amp to maybe 12.7 or 6. Is this normal? Thanks in advance if you need more info let me know.

    I had that problem with my car. Even after i uprgraded to a 170amp alt, it still dimmed a bit. It wasnt until i put some new batteries under the hood and in the back that it stopped. I would say that its mostly because of your small charging wire and battery. Dont worry about upgrading the allt at such low wattage

    so i just bought the RF 2500-1 BDCP and its recommended at 1/0 Awg wire..i was wondering since i already have 4awg wire installed my car..if it was okay to power this amp with my 4awg??? also i have a single fi btl n2 15 and the rf amp is 2500 @1&2ohm was wondering if this would be too much power to be feeding this sub..i don't want to blow out my sub so soon. THANK YOU!!

    I dont think the wire will melt bro, You just wont see more than 1200 watts of power traveling through that wire

    Of course man, of course to most extent its trivial. But if you want to run 200 watts RMS to a comp, you are going to want to use whatever wire can be the most efficient in delivering the power and the signal at the same time. Look at Knukonceptz speaker wire. The TCA wire is alright, I am using their Kord 12 gauge in my setup right now, But next settup i will definitely use the karma wire, it is TOO easy to run

    running the jvc 840 deck

    to sundown saz 1200 deck

    2 12 choas subs the subs dont even move everything is on and hooked up rigth is there a setting on the deck for the subwoofer on/off. I know everything is running right because when i plugged in the RCA ut nade a thump noise when rca touch amp inputs. soo any help would work. yes they are wired right the subs cause we just played it in another vehicle.

    Yeah there is a subwoofer on and off on the deck, If you dont have it on, no signal will go to the RCA's. But maybe check the level of the subwoofer signal on you HU it may be turned down or negative. If not make sure the amp it working
