[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4689505, member: 594758"] Your just realizing a little late that the weakest link in your system was your small alternator. Another battery doesn't really help you much. It will help some with the occasional peak, but your alt still needs to be able to charge those batteries, power your car and your sound system. You picked an amplifer much larger than your electrical can provide. Lots of people do that. They spend lots of time and money installing caps and batteries, but really what you need is a High Output alternator, and heavy wires. It's about he weakest link. Your upgrading the wires, which is great, but now the weakest link is the alternator. Upgrade that and your all good to go. [/QUOTE]
