prolly need a high output alternator. A battery will help you too, but a alternator would be best for lights diming.

Agreed but i would look into sum of the lower Kinetik batts...check the sizes nd see if they would fit....like the kinetik 800s or 1400s.

How many amps is it?

I have a rebuilt 200 amp, prolly not even 200 amps, but my lights hardly dim, with my Sundown at 1ohm.
