next upgrade - battery or alt?
2 year old (replaced) stock alternator of 102 amps, 2 year old battery (generic batt).
Right now im pushing 300wrms to my speakers and 600wrms to my sub (interfaced by a 1 F cap). Once my type x arrives i'll be pushing 900wrms to it at 2ohms. In another week i'll be pushing roughly 1200 - 1300 on stock batt / alt. Right now my voltage has been dropping severely at idle (down to 10). I'm doing the big 3 upgrade this weekend with 1/0 cable and hopefully that will help the situation. But, for my next electrical upgrade should I look at a 160 / 180 amp alternator or a red / yellow top?
Not looking to do any competitions, just looking to properly support my addiction for music at stop lights lol

Get the alt, upgrade your big three,and grab an optima and you can handle anything. Good investments.
I first had big three, still had dimming (1200wrms). Got Red-Top with oem alt, only dimming while stopped. Got 200A ho alt, no dimming never. :P BUT my A/C still drops rpms and dims lights... Fawking Saturns.
