[QUOTE="Dokken21, post: 1037984, member: 562341"] Have a 2000 watt system that was recently installed to my 97 Dodge Ram truck. Everything is perfect, except I'm getting annoying drops in power. The sudden drops of bass and overall volume do not cause any feedback or popping of speakers/subs. The bass and volume gradually return after a few seconds. The LED display on the cap shows a slight drop when the problem occurs - from 13.5 volts to 13.4. The problem does occur frequently when I turn on another electrical device, including cruise control, air conditioning, and applying the brakes also causes it. However, the problem has also occurred driving down the road at 55 without ANY other electrical device on. The system has a 200 amp alternator providing current, and a 2.4 farad cap to help with power needs. Is it possible that this is not enough? The Dodge factory alternator I removed puts out 117 amps....figured a 200 amp alt. and the 2.4 cap would be plenty of power... The installer and I are stumped... Anyone have suggestions? [/QUOTE]
