i guys i have a 97 honda civic with 2 kicker cvrs and 2 mtx 4250d amps on each subs but my problem is when i play my system my battery dies or all most die i have a xasitic 300 battcap and i just bought a new intersate battery for the front but some reason when i let the car sit for like 2 day then when i want to start it, it acts like it don't want to start. Also i have a alarm but i know the alarm is not killing the battery i did everything to get this shit to work. I don't think i need a alt. because my lights aren't dimming or nothing help me please.

i though that was the problem but that the reason i got a new battery because my old one did the same thing and plus i have a battcap in my trunk that sis like 40% battery and 60% capacitor i know i the battcap is working because my lights are not dimming but everytime i start my car it acts like the car do not want to start and the car acts like the battery is dead

thats know problem because after i start the car and let it run the cut it off then try to start it back up it starts up fine some thing is wrong with my charging system or something. The **** battery is brand new and i have the battcap in the back. the only promblem is if i let the car sit for like 2-3 day it acts like it don't won't to start it and the car acts like the battery is low

maybe the battcap is draining the battery? try disconnecting the battcap and let it sit, adn see if you have the same problem
