Redoing the install(s)...

Oh, and my SwR is 1:1 with and without power...which isn't much improvement, but it is noteworthy.

that's as good as it gets.

The Jerk,
Capacitors work, But they can't make up for an inadequate supply of power, bigger batteries, etc.

Personally that's the route I would take. More, bigger, better batteries.

The truck is a 2500 dodge, twin 1050CCA batteries, 137A alternator...it already has the batteries and alternator

Factory dual batteries, tied together with at least #1 wire, or larger.

I figure some of my issue was possibly because I have a bunch of stuff (lights, fuel pump, radio, etc) tied into the one battery, which I switched sides to the one that has nothing on it. I also upped the supply to 4ga, which should make the issue worse, but it should also make the amp work better assuming it wasn't getting full juice.

The only thing I was thinking about, which I think Mac eluded to, would be to icrease the feed line between the alternator and batteries, but I'm not sure I feel like tracing that out in the harness...

And again, it is just a straight 4-pill.
