Yes, if you have 8 thousand pounds of stereo equipment, probably not good. They do not make your car overheat but if you put a big load on your charging system at idle, voltage goes down, current goes up, and you start putting a strain on stuff.

Lights dimming at idle is the only thing I've seen, but how long are you in idle?</blockquote>
