Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 it would be helpful if you listed your car, alt brand, alt series, and the average load on the alt and the amount of TOTAL watts in the car NOT PEAK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) How many batteries do you have to help power the system with, if your relying on the alt to supply the full power thats why your killing it so fast. You need a few more batteries to help cover the load and also help with capacity for the system.

cubs_fan0718 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) well those subs are pulling every last amount of power u have from ur electrical system which in turn make the alt work overtime cause its trying to recharge ur battery/ batteries(?) do u have any extra batts if not u should get some and also maybe get a bigger alt. that alt is probly saying i need more help casue these huge subs are sucking the life out of me.
