[QUOTE="jrgolfpro, post: 6735351, member: 620448"] Yeah the remote wires go straight to the head unit. I don't think this has anything to do with the 4 channel amp because like I said, it happened after I installed the sub. I really have a feeling that the Capacitor is the culprit.... It seems as though the alternator is getting too much energy drawn from it to power both the cap and charge the battery fully. I've left the stereo shut off the entire month when driving it on the weekends to work and in doing so, both amplifiers have not been turned on and drawing juice but the capacitor will still be pulling a current obviously with the fuse left in so it seems to me as though the cap is draining slowly and in doing so, it's either slowly draining the battery when the car is sitting for the week or something to that nature....The system is not powerful at all so I have a hard time believing it's the alternator... Do you guy's think I should ditch the cap and just wire it straight to the sub amp? I had to the 4 channel amp professionally installed like 5 years ago and that simply has the power wire running straight to the battery uncapped and I've never had any issues. I have the cap grounded to the same bolt as the 4 channel amp is grounded too if that matters... Thank you for taking the time to read this and help me out by the way, I'm running out of ideas and this was the last place I thought I'd turn before ripping everything out. It's just been a headache ever since I purchased this stuff. [/QUOTE]
