probly just a worn out stock alternator. I use to run 1400watts rms on my system and the dash barely dimmed here were my specs
JBL 1000.1 for my subs Alpine Type R wired down to 2 ohms
Rockford F. 400.4 to run my mids and highs.(Mb quarts)
It was a low-mid end system that sounded clean but i rarely had dimming or starting problems. Just get your alternator rewound for the most cost effective solution, and if it continues to dim upgrade to a yellow top battery by optima which i later on did because i played my sound system for hours at a time with the engine off.
