[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5395153, member: 601690"] Sounds like you are hitting well below 12v. A simple DMM will tell you all you need to know. Start the engine and connect the DMM to the under hood battery. Watch the DMM as you turn on the audio. Watch it change as you turn the volume up slowly. Push the audio to the point of failure and note the voltage at that time. If you are dropping below 12 ~ 12.5 volts, you could see a large bennefit from a good battery at least and possibly an HO alt as well. I would start with a battery because it is easier and cheaper.
