Some people will say it's a myth that you can burn out an alternator with a sound system, but I have gone through two alternators myself. This is why I started doing my own install. The sound system adds to the amperage that is being drawn out of your alternator. If you run other things, i.e. the headlights, wipers, heater, etc, all at once you do have a chance of exceeding the amperage your alternator is designed for. In that caseit can burn out. Check your battery cables. Is there an unusual amount of corrosion or acid residue on them? If there is I suggest getting a higher output alternator. It can get pretty expensive having to replace batteries and cables over and over.</p></blockquote><p></p>
