TeejayBee Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Alright so i have a 97 blazer and the stock alt isnt recharging my battery enough so i cant even run my subs and its at 500watts and im about to put another 500watts in for an L5 and if it isnt running what i have it sure as hell wont run what i wana put in. but like what happens is that ill be going and it just shuts off but the meter in my car goes down so I figure either my alt isnt strong enough and its a 105 stock , or my battery just is that shitty but what i want to do is get a 150amp alt or 160 . then im getting a kenetik battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeejayBee Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 So it might not even be my alt might just be my battery and the wires arn't letting enough juice to go through fast enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeejayBee Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) So I should get a battery and put it into the back of my car and that should fix it ? let me throw this info in too b.c it is a big thing i guess , when i got this car the dealer was a shitty place and they needed to put a new battery in new tire rods and some balljoints and i think they went cheap on the battery b,c its nothing great and i think that the amp hours just arnt what they used to be. so i was thinking like an optima yellow top to replace it Edited July 13, 2009 by TeejayBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 i run 3000 rms off a stock 90 amp alt LOL.. it does ok for most songs.. but i dont blast it full blast all day either.. Just change your main battery, put another one in the back and you should be fine *I think... and do the big 3 Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......
