[QUOTE="reallyxxxxloud, post: 7348725, member: 625000"] FFS if you need to upgrade your alt then your battery must be fried... Theres no way your stereo requires a HO alt. If your sub amps are pulling peak current draws bigger than your Alt supplies then the battery supplies all the extra current. If you are pulling more current with peaks than your battery can supply you should upgrade your battery to handle the demand. If your electrical system is drawing continuously up to 80% of your Alts supply then you will need to look at replacing your Alt. Theres no way your system will be doing that. You have for your voltage to drop out that badly either faulty caps/cap, a poor power wire connection somewhere, bad battery or Alternator. Don't waste your time anywhere else. Its a process of elimination so bypass your caps first to see if it stops the dropout. I'f it still does it its not going to hurt to upgrade to the biggest lead acid battery you can fit. If that doesn't work eg its going flat check your alt. Hope it works out for you.... [/QUOTE]
