Lights dim really bad!

[gfunkfb09]

So on my 04 yukon xl my lights dim really bad when my bass hits. I have done the big 3 in 0 gauge wire, and I have a run of 0 gauge rockford fosgate wire going to the amp. The amp is a rockford fosgate Power T1000-1bd. It is pushing two alpine type r 12s at 0 ohm. The dim is very noticeable so I cant turn it up at night because it makes my headlights look like strobes lol. My battery is a die hard gold. So do ya'll think that this alternator will solve my problems? Just switching the stock with this one?

Yeah I would try going with the ** alternator. And i love my Optima yellow top too if you wanted to try another battery.

Thanks, yeah a yellow top is my next step after the alternator. I just hope the ebay alt has good build quality, because the price is pretty low compared to some ** alts.

 

[alacran]

if it does what it claims you should be good. that is a low price.

Yeah I hope so, I don't know why my lights even dim with about 1000 watts rms anyway. My current alternator might be on the way out, who knows.

a capacitor might help, but you would probably want to upgrade to a higher output alternator

I've been thinking about a new ** alternator, too.
Suggestions?

If you can swing it I'd look in to the Iraggi alternators, I've heard very good things about them.

For gfunk. You could run a dual battery setup along with a ** alternator.

Put qa good 2 fared cap on it along with that ** alt and you will be good.

Just did same setup as yours in a friends truck, had same probs 140amp alt and 2F cap solved it.

Yeah I'm going to try the ** alt and a new yellowtop when I get the funds for that. I'm going to stay away from caps because I have heard they don't do much and its basically just like putting a band-aid on the problem.
