    @@aaroncardenas9062 nope-checked everywhere, 240 will more than do my system, my stock alternator puts out 135 amps, which should be about 65-70 at idle, just enough, my lights do not dim at high volume, but thats pushing it

    I have the same engine and get an average of 14.4 volts at the amp with the stock alternator. I have 9200 watts between 2 amps. I think your setup is lacking 0ga from the battery to amps. I run 2/0ga in the big 3. Everything else is 0GA SKYHIGH wire to the amp. I think I maximize my stock alternator because of my wiring. It does drop to 12.2 amps at serious bass drops but that is only when I am pushing the bass. I will upgrade the alternator one day but my setup meets my daily driving needs.
