I have a 1993 Ford Explorer, v6, with a skar 1500.1 soon to be powering a PSI PF2 18. My factory Alt is only a 95 amp, so should I get a 250 amp alt or get a kinetic battery for the back?

Time for me to replace my cars original battery, instead of getting a normal one, I want to get one that will support my future amps, it won't be much, Soundqubed 1200 and a solid 300 watt four channel. The car is an '08 xB, any suggestions for solid batteries that will last long, not break the...

Looking to upgrade my electrical before I beef up my sub-stage in my 03 Silverado. What do you all think I would need to run 2000-3000rms daily. I'm figuring id need at least another battery or two with an alternator? Really kinda lost on what would be a solid foundation.

When my bass hits my headlights dim and when my interior lights are on, they dim too. They don't dim real bad but enough to notice if you're looking at them. Will this cause any electrical problems that I might have to fix in the future?

I'm in the process of building my third system, but it's going to be my first REAL SYSTEM. I'm limited on space for the simple fact it's a daily driver. I'd like to have 16 Volts running to all my amplifiers for maximum power efficiency. That being said I know my alternator will have to be...

my car is a 1990 Honda CRX Si, and it has a Clifford Arrow II alarm system, which a shop installed back in 1999. the alarm works fine except one problem that has to do with the feature that flashes the parking lights....... sometimes after arming or disarming, the parking lights get...

So I've hooked up 4 LED strips to my amp and a switch, like this: ---LED-----LED------TOGGLE SWITCH----LED-------LED--------- |____(+)Speaker Terminal on Amp (-)Sp. Terminal on Amp___| (That's all 4 LEDs in series drawing power from the amp, with a switch in the middle.) So all 4 are getting...

During high-volume playback (meaning with volume at like 37, 38 or 39 out of 50) when I focused on a particular song for troubleshooting this issue (so I'd have a constant thing I could use to measure whether a new step I tried had a positive effect) the outpu of the highs+mids (aka the 4ch amp)...
