Topic: Ground Wire All the Way from front battery
Okay I have a optima yellow top battery and a 140 high output PowerMaster Alternator that I got from summit, anyways I have them installed right now, but I still get dimming of the lights slightly, will this stop my dimming? I have upgraded my power wire from the alternator to the battery to 2 gauge and all the grounds under the hood are 4 gauge wire, nothing smaller. It would be cool if it did.

I guess I need to tell you guys out there what I am running for amps which is making my lights dim slightly. I have one PPI Pc2150 for subs that is running at 300x2 at 2 ohms and a mtx highs amp for my infinity component set in the front doors, all in all about 1000 to 1200 RMS.
