DJ JDub Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 So I have done the big 3 with 1/0 gauge, put in a 2nd battery, and my lights still dim because of voltage drop. How do i fix this? i have done basically everything that people have told me to do. please help me out
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Batteries only cushion voltage drop to not make it as bad. if you want to get rid of dimming completely you need a high output alternator to get it done right. How much power are you running and what batteries are you using?
ugpbmx Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 The next thing to do is upgrade your alt. edit-kyle beat me to it lol MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

DJ JDub Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Posted October 23, 2010 I am running 1000watts rms and 2ohms. and yellow top batteries with 2 1/0 runs to connect them
DJ JDub Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Posted October 24, 2010 What alt. should i buy then? and where should i get it.
