[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 5166027, member: 584454"] Most likely the two prongs he's talking about is the internal regulator. I'm not familiar enough with how a reguatlor works to know, but you may require an external regulator for what you're looking for. The problem is, you can't splice into your existing regulator harness, since you want to keep your stereo seperated from your car electrical. That means the computer controlled regulator will not detect the voltage dropping from your audio equipment and the alternator will always output the bare minimum. What I'm not sure about is if you can run the 2 wires you need from the positive/gnd wire of your audio. I don't think this will work, because I believe the car computer plays a role in the regulation. For this reason, you'd need an external regulator. One that has its own 'brain' so you can wire it to your audio electrical. [/QUOTE]
