    I will plan on getting a red top battery here in hopefully the next week. Unfortunately they do not have any with two sets of terminals for connecting, so I will be going with a single post (sad face). Alternator will be a while, if its needed. (my factory is 140amp)

    caps are gone, a new alternator (200amp) is $420 so im saving for that. and thanks for the minivan compliment, 2004 saab sportwagon... saab doesnt even make minivans...

    I was talking about with the subs in full load... Im seeing about 13.8-14.3 when my car is at idle with the subwoofers not moving. On a song that has a constant heavy note, thats when my voltage dips. Any idea on a new optima battery? or am I out of luck?

    that is with the car running at idle. And it may be just because I was catching the numbers off the multimeter at different times. I was looking at optima red tops and yellow tops, and I am having trouble deciding wich is the right option to go with. Also, I was looking online, and at my local...

    the caps are out, both of them, and I am using a digital multimeter to check voltages both in the trunk, and under the hood. I am seeing as low as 10.8 in the trunk, and 11.8 at the battery. Should the battery be replaced next? would that yield the greatest stabilizer for this power flux? The...

    got the big 3 done. sounds much better! I want to re-do my battery terminals so I dont have to deal with the rings connected to mine, but for now it is good. Next thing to go (either tonight or tomorrow) will be the caps. voltage is increasing, and there is a lot more bass. BTW: ville, i didnt...

    Im sure you have your own opinions, and last i checked "sony" was a name brand. Love your use of swearing, im glad you have the cognitive ability to put it into a sentence. Your input has been rather disregarded by me, due to your very blunt and stupid response. I am listening to others who...

    caps will be gone then. 1/0 is something I plan on for future, or atleast 2 4 gauge wires (firewall limitations) also, I have had a dificult time finding a HO alternator that will fit my car. Noone seems to have one that will fit.

    I was planning on upgrading to 0 gauge power, split to 4 gauge in the back, and then run 2 4 gauge ground wires. would that be sufficient?

    ok, so the caps need to go, that will happen this weekend (the only time i get off). the big 3 also needs to go in. then I will also need better battery power. and possibly a HO alternator. Also redo any connections that seem week, especially ground wire. Does this seem like a good plan of...
