[QUOTE="sicone22, post: 8722105, member: 680905"] Where are you located? I should open a shop there lol. Surprisingly they removed the fuse even. Do you have a multi meter? Check grounds yourself? I am willing to bet the ground is the problem with the alternator. That mixed with the fact the alternator is too small to begin with. If the ground is not connected to the alternator it will pull its power and not be able to dump it causing a serious load. Why amplifiers (some) don't have a ground fault protection or is even able to power on is beside me. I highly recommend getting a higher output alternator if it is only 110a that comes in that car. Don't have to go all out, a 220 or around there will be just fine, hell 170-180 is a certain improvement. You could possibly get away with a little AGM powersports battery added but I would upgrade the alt as if you ever end up modifying more there is a point where you'll need to anyway especially in the higher rpms [/QUOTE]
