im sorry you guys think im trolling, and that i ask dumb questions. im just trying to learn. im new to car audio and i joined this forum so i could learn and research. i know you guys are telling me to install a new battery and i was reading other forums and stuff online that say that if you are going to run 2 batteries then you will need a bigger alternator because the alternator would have to work harder, replacing an alternator on my car isnt easy. on another note, i noticed some times when im driving i can see the lights on my power cap turn off (the volt reading and led lights) after about 5 seconds it will come back on. i think it might be my wirng but im not sure. i wired the power wire that goes to my amp, into the cap, then grounded the cap to the car and ran another wire from the positive to the amp.
