[QUOTE="scotty3x3, post: 8217544, member: 658710"] Well, the alternator appears to be working. Last night I reconnected my power wire to my battery and played the system for a little while watching the volt output from the battery. Turned the inside air on full blast, all lights on system turned up loud and the lowest reading I got from my battery was down to 11.6 volts, but the battery light in the car did not come on. I turned the car off and went to bed. This morning the battery light was on as soon as I started the car. I checked the battery and it was still reading 11.6 volts. I drove the car on the way to work for about 6 minutes hoping the alternator would charge the battery, but when I checked, the battery still read 11.6. I disconnected the power wire again and as soon as I got in the car, the battery light was off. I drove to work and checked the battery when I got there and it was reading 14.2 again. I don't think the battery is bad or the alternator since it charged back up without the system. I just need to find out why this relatively small system is pulling so much from my battery. [/QUOTE]
