First thing to do is upgrade your ground to atleast 4 gauge. Make sure you have a quality ground read above sticky on proper grounding. Then see where your at.

it'll also be a good idea to upgrade your alternator if you have alot of other accesories running in the car (HIDs, TVs, air compressor etc.)
