Correct me if i'm wrong but wouldnt that be different from vehicle to vehicle, depending on the condition of your battery, what other electronics you have going, how much power your head unit draws to run, etc.

I have a 99 RC 2WD and a 600W amp powering my infinity sub, and a 320W amp powering my Boston speakers, and im running the stock rear 5.25's off of my alpine head unit. When I have the system turned wayyyy up and i'm sitting in one place the headlights dim a tiny bit on hard bass hits, hardly noticable. If the interior lights are on they dim a small amount as well on hard bass hits. When physically driving someplace the lights dont dim at all.

I am running the stock Mopar battery from 99, and I guess upgrading my battery (according to tweeter) will get rid of my dimming alltogether. They recommended an Optima Yellow Top.

Hopefully this gives you some sort of an idea of what your electrical system can handle...and good luck!
