[QUOTE="Janus, post: 65624, member: 544760"] Thanks for the help. I was pretty sure that i was correct in believing that the battery was the culprit. i wanted a second opinion though. i understand electricity, and electronics fairly well (i would never consider myself an "expert") but automotives and sound systems are fairly new territory to me. I am still curious however to figure out how much extra electricity i have to work with for any additions that i want to make. i plan on hooking up fog lamps, I would also like to get a second amp for the speakers. Mostly it's driving me crazy that i know i saw a website on car audio systems and it explained how to figure out how much power you still have left to work with (EX: alternator puts out X amps. Car uses Y amps for it's operation. This leaves you with Z amps left to work with). I know not everything on the internet is true, but it makes enough logical sense that there should be a formula to that effect. Ok, thanks again for the help. Janus [/QUOTE]
