Correct. Your pulling too much from it and batteries don't instantly recharge, so an H/O alternator will charge it faster, but not as fast as you would think. If you were to keep taking power from it over the period of a song, you would need to let it charge back up. The car audio batteries use...

I definitely think that is the cause behind all of this.

I would probably have to agree with you there, but we can't necessarily rule that out. Its been a while since I've seen a 65 amp alternator, and I feel as if the manufacture put that in there to meet the bare minimum. Chances are your not playing your system at full blast either and I assure you...

I used a calculator to calculate the amount of power you have. At 13.3v and 65 amps (considering the other 65 is for your primary car electronics) your looking at 865 watts. At 14.5v and 65 amps, your looking at 950 watts. The numbers add up, so my best advise would be to get a car audio...

What is the total amount of watts your whole system draws? This should include every amp you have added together. (RMS Number Only)

That is not ideal, but is acceptable for your amp. When dropping that low, your starving your on board electronics such as headlights for instance. It takes power to make power, so I bet if you did a few electrical upgrades, you would retain peace of mind as well as more power, because we all...

You were correct, my carrot to show the user I was talking too was inserted before you replied, so I thought it was going to the user before you IOD fuses are commonly found in Jeeps. It is directly related to the ignition "ON" circuit for the vehicle, which includes the radio. We had a...

^ This can be tricky, granted it allows you to have your radio on while the vehicle is off, but can start a lot more problems than its worth. Other than the obvious sign that it will always be on if not wired to a switch, you could trip your IOD (Ignition off Draw) fuse and it wouldn't allow the...

Definitely should go with the ground loop isolators. Did an install at my shop where a customer brought in an android tablet and it did the same thing. We always get down to bare metal but never helped. The ground loop isolators made it way better.

Looks good man! I love how the projectors have the cutoff line at the top, makes it an extremely clean beam. I bet there much brighter over factory! I hope the fogs turn out just as nice.

Did you ever end up selling it? If not let me know. Thank you.

hotboy64277, If you would like some pictures, please clear your PM's allowing me to PM you. It states that you have reached your max PM amount when I try to send you a message back to your PM. Thank you.

I have one from my old build I took out a while back. Cosmetically it's about 8/10 (has a scuff in the top right corner) and the functionality is a 10/10. I'd have to look around for the box and birth certificate. If I found the box and birth certificate I wouldn't let it go for $650, probably...

I've been on the hunt for an HD radio adapter for my Pioneer AVH-P4300 DVD double din radio. If anyone has one please speak up, I would appreciate it if you would consider selling it. A picture of the unit is below. Feel free to reply or PM me, I'll be online everyday checking on this thread...
