problem my system ( help )

[I Like Waffle]

sounds like fuel injectors or spark plugs (if that jeep is infact fuel injected) Go get a can of sea foam and put it in your gas, also put in some 93 or 100+ octane if you can get some. Always helped me out

im starting the think its the battery again, last night i go to start my car and it hesitates like crazy and the lights dim when i rev the engine... then this morning it would turn over and then turn off, and it did that about 5 times before i just left it there

by assuming the battery am i right? or could it still be another issue?

i drive a 95jeep grand cherokee and i recently installed
2 12in alpine type r's

Alpine - 1000W Class D Mono MOSFET Amplifier with Adjustable Crossover

and an after market alpine radio

now im having problems with the battery ( i think) When i go to start up the car it would sometimes just start, and then turn off.. or when im stopped at a light just turn off.. it also doesnt start up right away the way it did before i installed the system

i changed the ground ( thinking i just needed a better one ) and it starts up right away now, but it still shuts off every once and a while when im at a light, or putting it in reverse... and hesitates a little when it starts

i got my battery tested at autozone and thats fine, what else could be the problem?

the auto zoners lie.

your car idles, when it does that it sucks up the remaining juice left in the battery to preserve electronics running in the car, so the car will shut off, (mainly because of your new system) your best bet would be to go buy a green top battery.
