[QUOTE="pioneerisloud, post: 4903662, member: 599311"] Lol, sorry about that. I just clicked the link and assumed it kept the numbers that I was supposed to see for my install. So if it only requires a 40a fuse before the amp, why won't a 40a fuse be enough under the hood too? And why would I need 4 gauge wire, when 8 gauge can handle 40a just fine? What my main idea is to use my 8 ga kit, run it to a couple of extra batteries in the trunk (hopefully with just a 40a fuse), and then from those batteries to my amplifier. Wouldn't that solve my problems? EDIT: And yes, the alternator isn't having any problems....its new. Its a 90a alternator, but I guess my car uses quite a bit of power on its own? I have an EXTREME CHEAPO battery up front because that's all that fits! I'm pretty sure its a battery problem. [/QUOTE]
