For you audio guys... I will be adding another hifonics 1200 amp so i can get 1 to each Type R... My question is what else should i do electrical wise in order to not run into problems down the road? I was planning on upgrading the alternator, but I think I want to avoid that for now... so should I add another battery just for the amps, or what options are there? Thanks for the help, I already have the 2.5 farad cap, but I know I will be having to add other upgrades to support all of the power being drawn.

Upgrade the factory ground in the engine bay. Especially the thin one going from the battery negative terminal to the chassis. Run an appropriately sized power and ground cable for the amps. Ground amps to a clean part(sanded down metal that is part of the chassis). Upgrade battery if there is still dimming.
