Mine was doing that for a while too, I upgraded my grounding cables and also got a capacitor for my system, and upgraded my battery to a duralast gold. Now I'm running 2 12' audiobahn subs, 1000w Amp, 2 TVs, Air Ride Suspension, a playstation 2, and a few more goodies off of this with no dimming.
I know there was also the Big 3 mod that would more than likely help you out. Do a search for Big 3. I don't remember exactly where it was located, but it was there.
