Neo_frog Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Have you monitored your voltage at all? If it's a stock battery and alternator, it's possible you're stalling from under-voltage. I'm surprised the car still turns on. If the car is older, however, it could be a different problem since the PCM wouldn't regulate the voltage. That would take a bit of research in the car.

kirill007 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) How much batteries do you have? It could be that those amps draw a lot of current and the electrical isn't strong enough.

ALPINE408 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 sounds like it needs a bigger alt and batteyr Ya your voltage is dropping to 10-9 volts alot crazy stuff happens at that voltage a voltage your car and amp was no ment to run on big 3 add a batt fast befor you start frying things other than your amp and subs 9 volts = fire Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Zade08 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Obviously the battery is dying and starving the distributer/coil packs of juice. Bigger battery will solve it. Mine did it with my 3000d until I stepped up a couple hundred cranking amps. Try putting the car on a trickle charger overnight until he gets a new batt or more batts. BTW wallmart has the everstart batteries with 875ca for like $62. Good temp battery till cash flows in. Also get that big 3 done asap. Not only are you causing the alt to heat up more than normal your killing it too by trying to make it run the car and not just charge the battery.
