I definitely will! thanks!!!

alright, thanks!! ill do this and see if it works!

i got my wet cell battery from autozone. Can i return it? I have a sams club membership, so i could def. do that!

excuse me for asking, but what is an agm battery? and approximately how much will one cost?

ok thanks! i thought it might just be the amp, because i checked the subs and the tinsel leads and everything seemed fine, just the voltage kept dropping right when the power and ground wire touched the terminals. Ive thought about a second battery for some time. would it really help with...

Ill replace the battery tomorrow, and talk to my friend about the alternator voltage regulator. As for the ho alt, ill prolly not do that...you think the stock alt will be sufficient for a 500wrms system? i rarely push it over like 400watts if i even feel like pushing it that high.

Ah, ok! that makes sense! thanks! if they load test it and its bad, what should i do? would buying a bigger alternator be a good idea, or should i buy a second battery and parallel wire it?

I went to autozone today, and they tested the battery and stuff and said that my battery is being fully charged but that the battery has dead cells. I thought this was weird because the battery is not even a week old.

Also, i failed to mention that i had my alternator rebuild because it was substantially cheaper and i am very good friends with the individual who rebuilt it. Would the alternator still work even if the voltage regulator was bad?

So is there just a short or something in the car wiring somewhere?

My friend's dad has done a decent amount with electricity and he thinks i may have fried one of the voltage regulators in my car...Is that a possibility?

yeah, i dont know why that is happening :/

nasty08impala is correct, i pulled the power and ground and checked the bare wires directly. and as for where the power is dropping, I checked the inline fuse and the voltage across it directly before and after is 12.4 to 12.2-12.3. the voltage before and after the fuse block only changed by...

That is what I thought, so I went to a buddy's of mines house, and I hooked my subs up to his amp, and they made some noise but the voltmeter was still only reading about 7.4 volts at a high when I put the voltmeter on the terminals. If the alternator did spike though, wouldn't i have noticed...

Hi all, I have a Sony xplod 1000W 2 channel amp, and it has worked perfectly fine with my 2 kicker 15 comp subs for almost 2 years. Last week, my alternator died, and so I replaced it and purchased a new and bigger battery for my car. However since this happened, my subs would randomly cut...
