how old is your battery....?

 

[alvin-n-d-chipmunks]

quite new.. changed it around may 09

capacitor will help if u have your headlight/room light dimming when the bass hits....

doubt it can help when u want to start the car. if your battery is new then maybe there an electrical leak somewhere, draining the battery...

check with ur alternator~! :)

wat is ur battery size?
N60 or N70?
Ive tried using new battery smaller size then the next day K.O
Ended up using N70 =.="

alternator is fine.. not sure bout d battery size..

Would assume that your mono is 1000w so its simple:
2000w + 1000w = 3000w
running voltage is 14v
3000w/14v = 214amps

So lets assume that alt is 80 amps and you need to find another 134 amps. So thats explains why your alternator cannot charge your battery.

Also dont think caps would solve this

bro are you the one using silver top?

1) Change your batt to a ns70 (test for a few days and if ur lights are dim...)
2) Change alternator to 80-90 amps as most 1.8cc and below car comes 70-75amps stock.
3) I hope you're not using 8gauge power wires for the amps especially the one powering the bass. You'll need 6 or 4 gauge wires.
4) If you got more than 3 items connected to the remote/ignition wire you'll need to add a relay to draw power from the batt and not the stock ignition.

Hope this helps...

is there any possible any alternator can fit into any car?

 

[Zenn]

just hav to check mounting and space available. also hav to check with belt and pulley alignment ok or not, luckily most alternator mountings are adjustable, sort of la..
