tyler_da_bass_playa Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Search the forum before you post basic questions like this. Start out with your wiring, is your gauge big enough to handle the power of your setup? Try doing your Big 3 with 4 or 0 gauge. Whats the specs for your whole system. And size of alt?

RMac18 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Your best bet would be to stay away from the cap if your already having electrical issues. Start with the Big 3. here That should at least help. Depending on the setup you may need a bigger, or multiple alts, as well as more batteries. Like Tyler said, full specs on your system would help more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmelber Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) well im not trying to spend big bucks on a new alty considering this is my first car and wont have it long. i was thinking about a new battery but getting a new battery may require a new alty same with getting a second bat idk what amperage my alty is but its stock on a 99 ford taurus se 3.0l i have 2g jl power wire but my amp has small connection terminals so not all of the dookie ass wire is under the screw that have something to do with it?

Skullz Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Your amps going into protect from the voltage drop you have. With the upgrades your looking at i would get 2 batteries with nothing less than 100ah to start and maybe add another or so later depending on dropping voltage.
