[QUOTE="john.mulvehill, post: 7000044, member: 625086"] The car is a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT with a 6 liter V8 engine. I did more research and found out that my stock alternator is rated at 108 Amps under load and that the JL 1000/1 pulls 100 Amps at high volumes. 108 and 100 seems awfully close. And since I didn't do the big 3 upgrade, 108 might be an even lower number, correct? My car is still currently at the dealership service department so I unfortunately can't post pics of the install. I had the system installed at an audio shop so I do not know if they routed power wire straight from amp to battery that was fused at the battery. Should I tell the dealership to replace the battery and clear the codes? They've been looking at it for 4 days and have no idea how to fix it. They are ripping up the dashboard today to hunt for the problem.... I am not too optimistic that they will find it. [/QUOTE]
