This has been covered several times, typically in discussions about capacitors

It's not the volume, its the current draw from your amps that forces voltage drops, which causes dimming.

The Big 3 and higher output alternators will help, and as discussed before, so will capacitors, to an extent or for certain scenarios. Run the Big 3 first, because its the most cost effective, and if dimming is still an issue, look towards other options.
