[QUOTE="admaster_99, post: 7195336, member: 554682"] I have a 96' cougar with a 4.6 running an 110 amp alternator never had any electrical problems with it. I first bought a AQ 2200 amp and hooked it up and it compeletely would kill my car literally at stop signs and while driving. So I down graded to an mtx 500 rms amp that sounds great but it still kills my car like crazy. I did the big three, set up dual batteries and put a bigger alternator in it a 220 rms amp alternator and redid all the grounds that I could see. Nothing has helped and I have just fried my alternator for the second time this month what the hell is going on! Please help! I have heard people say that you can run as my as 1500 watts rms with little problems and lights dimming. But this little 500 watt amp kills my lights and alternator why! I also checked the voltage I while ago and it falls down to low 10 volts under high volume. system specs: Mtx 501d - 500 watts rms 800 at 14.4 volts 2 pioneer premeires - 1,000 watts rms dual 2 ohms each hooked up at 2 ohms 110 amp alternator 96' mercury cougar 4.6 liter [/QUOTE]
