Just a couple I found

Power Bastards and Mechman

I did the big 3 upgrade (4 awg wire) and I still have dimming head lights :angry:

I am planning on putting a 10 inch sub in the rear deck and I wanted more power before I add a third amp

(If anyone has tried this please tell me I think I've read about it before)

if anyone has suggestions for high output alternators please post them

or if there are other suggestions I am open to options

You shouldn't need a HO alt for one 10. If you still have dimming double check all your wiring and grounds. Anything under 1,000 watts really should not need a HO alt. There's also DC power alts, Iraggi, and another website I found but forget the name. Maybe you just need a new stock alt or a new battery.

Upgrade your headlight wiring.

Well I currently have a 200 watt amp for my interior speakers and a 400 watt amp for my sub

I agree one ten will need less power, I was planning on 100 watts.

my battery and alternator have been replaced recently

I have several grounds, one 4 awg and three 8 awg coming from the battery negative. and I have the original engine to ground and a 4 awg engine to ground.

please explain, I've heard of this but not in detail

You need a headlight upgrade harness. There has been plenty of discussion of this over the years. Fairly easy to install.

If you have mixed match wiring that could very well be the cause of your dimming. You could have more resistance building up.

also you can try using 1/0 gauge instead of 4.
