Lights still dimming...

Hey guys Im still working on the never ending audio system in my truck (will eventually get some updated pics on my build thread) But I've ran into a problem, or maybe my expectations were too high.

I have upgraded to 2 yellow tops under the hood and a PowerBastards 240A HO alternator. I have 0/1 ga wire running from my Alt to the battery. I haven't done the other Big 4 wire swaps yet. I only have one 0/1 power wire running to my distro block on the back wall and 4 4ga running out.

Well I has helped some, but I am still getting serious light dimming when I get into some heavy and loud bass notes. I was assuming that I had upgraded enough to eliminate that.

Will the rest of the big 4 wire swap help? Should i run a power wire from the alternator to both batteries? any suggestions will help. Thanks guys

big 3/4 will solve this
for a proper electrical circuit you need to have the same size ground as power wire
stock grounds are barely 10 gauge, just upgrade your grounds in the big 3 and then report back.
