[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8219377, member: 628688"] When the engine is running you want the alternator powering the vehicle. At idle this isn't always possible, since that's when the alternator is doing very little work, but at a stable speed you need the alternator doing the bulk of the work of supplying current. Search "JL Audio School of Sound" on YouTube to find an excellent video. It's really not meant for beginners, but audio requires some in-depth knowledge on a lot of topics to be able to design a sound system that's reliable and enjoyable to listen to. [/QUOTE]
