[QUOTE="StallionAudio, post: 20400, member: 541876"] The charge light is staying on even after you turn your amp off b/c the battery's power is still too low... it sounds like your alternator is really struggling... the battery is supplyin most of the power, so it gets drained quicker. Yeah I have heard of people rewinding their alternators, I had to have the brushes cleaned on an old one of mine. You can try this and it may work. I'm sure if the mechanic looks at it and thinks that it isnt even worth doin or it is gonna be as much as a new one then I would just get a new one. I dont know what kind of car you have, but for domestic cars they arent all that expensive. I dont think that you would need a high output one for just that amp. You may want to look into buying a capacitor as well after you get the new alternator. This will help prevent the situation from happening again. Plus you'll get better performance from the amp with a cap. So you have a couple of options here. Good luck with that stuff guy. Peace. [/QUOTE]
