2010gmc Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 i have two P1 12's being powered by an Alpine MRX-M50 (500 watt) and my lights already dim when the subs hit, even when im driving. i was thinking of changing to two 10's maybe p3's or W3v3's and a JL jx1000/1. My question is whether i would need another battery to power that amp with or if maybe my alternator or battery might need to be replaced.
Afficionado Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 First step, do the big three if they are not already done. If you have any questions relating to nutrition, lifting, or health in general, feel free to give me a PM and I will give you straight forward advice with no BS involved.

713BassHead Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 haha on the beetle quote, but you probalbly just have a loose connection some where. id start by checking the ground wire. i mean your not running a big system... 2 12'' American Bass XFL Hifonics BRZ2400.1 2 6.5'' Power Series Rockford Fosgate Mids Red Top Optima 800cca 0 gauge Bullz Wire 95 Avalon
Lifted2000Ford4x4 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 check your grounds, alternator and your current battery (load test) autozone or any store like that will do something like that for free. do the big 3 as well. and its always a good rule of thumb to beef up your electrical... even tho ur running low watts i would still add an extra battery... just good practice.
