    but a second battery would make the light dimming worse if you are using a upgraded alternator due to the fact it would mean you are charging another battery which in fact would mean that it will take longer for the batteries to recharge if there is more strain on the system. so it would mean upgrading the big 3 would help lower the drop a little and the amp power and ground would help drop it as well but in all essence upgrading the alternator would be the biggest improvement to helping the light dimming. so if the lights are dimming and you have an adequate alternator that can power it then that means you would have to improve your ground wire since the wire or contact can all ground so much power before the ground would be having a hard time keeping up with it

    by that calculator or tool im doing about 1.17volt drop and if i upgrade my wire to 4 gauge i will have a v drop of .475 which looks alot better then 1.17 but it's off the stock battery wiring so i still don't understand how upgrading the wires improves the drop so looks like i have some research to do ahead of me so i will look up some prices that i like im looking for im looking for a bundle of 50' red wire and 50' black wire so it will be easier for me to tell the ground and the power apart. but is there an adapter that i can use zero gauge to 4 gauge because then that would put my v drop down to .2 which i will be really happy if anyone knows of good prices of the cable and adpater that would be great im looking to spend a max of $100 for all

    buy the looks of it i need 2 gauge wire but then find an adapter that can fit my x1200m amp power and ground terminals.

     

    but for power i need 2 gauge and for ground i need 4 and i hear it is not a good thing to have different power and ground wire sizes.

     

    and now to find a cheap either a set of power and ground wires. well not to cheap but something cheap but very good quality. so what is a good company to go with i hear cadence is good and cheap but i want something that will last. my friend has 4 gauge power and ground wire when he switched from 2 12's to a single 12 his lights still dim even with the same amp just different subwoofers
