Yeah...you'll get a little....especially at idle. Those amps have some good draw.

Honestly thats a pretty big amp,and it would draw alot current

the only to solve this,is to upgrade your elecrical system,you've already done the Big 3 you still need the

1,Battery Done

2,upgrade the alt to maybe a 200amp

BTW

Did you every get that alarm done

Well I know that some of you out there don't like them, but you could always get a cap. It worked for me. I was having the same problem with my 1600 watt memphis. But I just got a cheap cap and it took care of it. Also the battery and the alternator would be a good idea. Stinger puts out some reaaly hefty alternators

DO not do not do not do not do not get a cap. Like mark said, upgrade your battery, you'll be golden. Read my sticky on what a capacitor does.
