Power Problems

So I bought a Kinetik hc1200 and dropped it in but my amp still cuts out and my speedometer lights still dim. Could the gauge of the wire have anything to do with it. Its 1000w amp with 8 gauge wire

1000w rms? It might be your alternator? Not sure. I'm running around 900 rms and my headlights used to dim before I switched to hids

yes you cant run 1000w RMS thru 8g even if its the good shit... add an additional batt ground too while ur at it 4g min for both but if u can get real copper 1/0 by the foot do that
