[QUOTE="knil, post: 8441361, member: 667746"] I did a bit of research on the 2008 Honda Civic EX alternator and it looks to be rated at 80 amps. While doing a little extra troubleshooting, I decided to monitor the voltage as the car was running, and it was around 13.5-13.8 volts which seems a bit low. I wonder if after about 4 years of having the stereo has slowly taken its tool on the alternator, I will have to research some higher output alternators if this one is about to go bad. I had some corrosion on the battery post that I need to clean up and then do some more work on my big 3 (ran out of daylight for today) and then recheck the running voltage, but the alternator will need to be upgraded at any rate since it is under amperage for my system. I will continue to tweak and see if I can get to the root cause [/QUOTE]
