JWBryant Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have dodge 1500 truck and I am running 2 memphis street duty 12s and an infinity reference series amplifier. The amp says that it is to put out 350 wrms at 2 ohms. But my question was why are my headlights and everything dimming so badly, I thought you werent supposed to have problems with such a low power system. Can anyone give me some info?

POPLERO Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Some cars from the factory come with wimpy grounding system/points (like my trailblazer) and will experiance dimming from even using multiple basic switches at the same time. ex) I raise both front windows at same time and my headlights, dash lights and interior lights dimm like a muddah. You can start minimizing the dimm by upgrading grounds and such, big3 w help me a good amount... but a pounding subwoofer never helps the casue but sure does give grins.. lol Edited December 24, 2011 by POPLERO Quote 2008 TBSS Black Granite Alpine CDA-117 Clarion EQS746 AudioQue Supertweets @ dash Alpine DDT-s30 @ b pillars Alpine SPR-60c @ front doors Alpine SPR-60 @ rear doors Alpine PDX-f4 Second Skin DampPro KNUkonceptz Wiring DCpower 270amp alt Optima YT underhood *temp Two15DCxls Hifonics bxi2610 *temp saz4500 and 4 xp3000s coming soon.

POPLERO Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 also, if experiancing dimming more when the system is bumping, a second battery will be very helpfull.. but its always good to start with basics, big 3, grounds to bare metal, no loose connections, etc. Quote 2008 TBSS Black Granite Alpine CDA-117 Clarion EQS746 AudioQue Supertweets @ dash Alpine DDT-s30 @ b pillars Alpine SPR-60c @ front doors Alpine SPR-60 @ rear doors Alpine PDX-f4 Second Skin DampPro KNUkonceptz Wiring DCpower 270amp alt Optima YT underhood *temp Two15DCxls Hifonics bxi2610 *temp saz4500 and 4 xp3000s coming soon.

Guest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 big 3 should be the only thing you need. no way in hell you need a second battery for 300 watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
