[QUOTE="osteologation, post: 8246401, member: 549424"] 2011 Nissan Altima stock alternator. I did the big three and put in a 2.2 farad cap (I hear mixed reviews but it was fairly cheap so I did it). Amp is a kicker cx1200.1. Issue is when I'm driving and turn up the volume the car will start stuttering. This is more prevalent with rock music with the hard short hits I imagine dropping the voltage momentarily. It does dim the lights after a little while. Im pretty sure my alternator isn't keeping up but could this be a crap battery as well? I did leave my lights on for like an hour and the car wouldn't start which seems pretty likely the battery is on its way out. Also my wiring kit came with a 60amp fuse and that amp has never blown it, also kind of makes me wonder. [/QUOTE]
