[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1798566, member: 565696"] Ok, that makes sense. I'm completely rewiring the system with 1/0 and 4 gauge wire, it was originally wired with 4 gauge mainline, and 8 gauge going to my amps..... Ya, i know..... I'm guessing the 8 gauge could've had a lot to do with insufficient capacitance in the power supply of the amplifier itself, but i don't think a new alt will hurt either [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Especially when i can get my dad to go 50/50 because i've still got a raincheck for a birthday present and a christmas present. Merry christmas, car. If i'm still seeing ripple, i'll suspect the amp. By replacing so much (all) of my installation equipment at once, i'll never really know what caused the ripple in the first place, but i'll be happy enough if it just goes away. Overrating of hifonics amps is pretty much a non-issue when i can't even get 1000w out of it before my power supply starts shaking at the knees. Thanks for the info. [/QUOTE]
