[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8621137, member: 562180"] A HO alt isn't gonna fix your issue. However, a 105 amperage alt for a suburban which is bigger than my Tahoe, is a joke. I just replaced mine this past week...I would have thought it would have easily taken a more HO one but notta. Several things could be going on here. I would start with wiring your subs correctly to the amp....your amp more than likely can't handle a 1 ohm load. Where/how is your gain set? It could be too high. Size of power wire is also important....if it's too small, your restricting current flow... Ground has to be good...bare metal to bare metal. A seat belt bolt is not good enough. [/QUOTE]
