[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8675438, member: 562180"] Good choice on the alt. So here's what may be going on. I would start with checking connections 1st since it often gets overlooked esp with high powered systems. They tend to get lose over time leading to voltage dropping. Other thing is since you mentioned your getting the 4500.1 amp (Im jealous!) your alt might not be able to keep up with that amp once you get it install, and may not keep up with it now since it's a 250 amperage and your drawing around 277 amperes and a few other electrical factory car accessories pulling that current such as heater, headlights, etc. A bigger beefier CES alt like 350-370 will do and a few batteries. If you think your current battery (s) are the issue, I'd get them load tested if you can. What vehicle do you have? Big 3 done yet? Did you set your gains properly? [/QUOTE]
