[QUOTE="twothirteen, post: 7523397, member: 637374"] Crispin, this "I the wire I ran to the alt (to the exciter) that was always on (I was told this was correct)" is a bit unclear to me. Are you saying you added a current switch on the power wire from your alternator to your main battery? That would obviously make no sense for driving and listening to music. Are you saying your alternator draws power at night since it's high-output and must flip the switch to off while the vehicle sits? As for the battery cap, it was given to me for free when I bought my sub & amp. I figured its addition could do no harm, and if it does no good electronically, it at least has a digital output reading to show me the draw of my system at any given time. ;0) Though some could argue it adds ~20lbs to the back of my truck causing a higher loss in MPG at the expense of a digital readout which can be bought for cheap and installed at virtually no weight added. .. that's just my counter-balance speaking. ;Op [/QUOTE]
