Thank you all. Will be getting pics of my system up pretty soon

I want to join a team and start making some car shows and comps. I hear they like to know what I'm running. Which is 2 dc level 4 XL 15s. Not walled. Ma audio 4000 watt amp. 4 batteries. Powerbass and Rockford speakers. Hit 148 on db meter on music. That was before new alt and wiring. I want a team so I can represent them doing what I love. And that's being loud. I'd like a team that I can receive help from on builds and provide help for other builds.

I start it pretty often. It's been staying around 11.7. But before when the voltage was fine the lights would kinda flutter real fast from dim to normal. Not that noticeably. Leading me to believe the batteries are draining due to the alternator. And I hammered that shit constantly.

and that amp is a power hog from what ive read

no actually if i swap the alt im just gonna gt the big 3 out of the way

im taking it to a local company to test my alt. if its not putting out what it needs to then the 250a will be in. with custom brackets and such. now. would it be easiers to swap the new one in or run duals. i would run the new one in place of the ac compressor. also. with the plug for the stock alt, 3 wires come out. but the plug on the mechman only has 2 that come out of it. what do i do.

i know im new but i need serious help. i have 2 dc lvl 4 xl 15s in a 91 mazda navajo. powered by an ma audio 4000. 3 extra intimidator batteries are in the back all linked by 0 guage wire. its all running on a stock 95 amp alternator. i normally idled anywhere from 14.0 to 15.0 on my volt meter. recently, my voltage has dropped and i idle at 11.5. sometimes ill see a slow increase to anything as high as 13.0. when the bass hits hard it now drops as low as 8.8. what i need to know is if my alternator is done or one of my batteries is done and is trying to compensate by taking power from another. i have a mechman 250 amp alternator that might be put on if it is needed. i just need to know what im in for. nobody can give me a straight answer. any help is greatly appreciated. i didnt know who else to ask.
