You need to replace your stock alternator with a high output one. The system you have installed in your car is drawing more power than your old alternator can handle (that is why your lights dim). Also, make sure you have good connections from your battery to all of your equipment. You should have very heavy gauge wire running directly from your battery to your amps.

First of all, why do you need 2000 watts for a car?!?!?! That's way too much man; that's one way to become deaf! Well to answer your question, your power amplifier and all its speakers, etc. are sucking up too much current from your car's battery. You will need a larger size battery or an assortment of batteries to keep it up to normal. There are some specially designed batteries for these applications that go up to 60 amps, but they are kind of expensive.

Generally it sounds as if your stereo is too much for your battery. There is one thing that you can do, you can do a fresh wiring from the battery to the stereo (with a fuse). Make sure that you use a thick wire for this. If this doesnt work, consider replacing your battery with a higher amperage battery and check whether your alternator (battery charger) is working correctly!

You need to have a professional installer or car stereo tech look at your wiring. It appears that one or more of the wires may be connected incorrectly and that is what is causing the shortage in your electrical system. Do this as soon as possible because these kind of issues can start a fire.

ever hear of capacitor ..battery stabilizer ? your system is a monster ! battery voltage isn't enough to suppy to your spark plugs .and if the head lights is on thats where your engine die off. a 12v battery has its limits which you abuse .overload. seek help at your nearest car audio shop to install the above and i think either you get a capacitor with batt voltage monitor indicator or a batt voltage indicator. when you crank start your engine voltage will drop so its best to swith off air-con and hifi .when you crank start
