[QUOTE="graffix989, post: 696436, member: 557480"] ok just hooked up my system friday, lanzar VIBE286 amp(2000wattz). by sunday i noticed the check engine light came on in my car... ok so my question is that if my amp is drawing too much power will it make the check engine light go off?? shouldnt it make the little batt light turn on instead? or is this just a quencidence. i noticed my bat seems to be getting a little weaker when i go to start up my car too, but its done that ever scense this whole single digits cold front pushed in... i dunno i could be a combo of dif things my car is a POS. but i wanted to know if anyone elses light came on shortly after installing their system. also i dont realy crank my system up all the time eithor, i dont even have it making any kind of noise when im in the neighbor hood cuz my car will get broken into. so for now instead of upgrading to the HO alt. could i just use a switch to controll the power to my amp instead of the HU, so i could keep it turned off so the batt has enough time to recharge after running it so hard... or would that just be wasted effort.
