wattsat Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Second battery. Do you have any capicitors installed for the amps?What batteries are you using? Have you tried Ultima Gel Cell Batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicmorph Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 fact of the matter is more batteries wont help if i cant charge them up.. basically the only way out is to get a bigger altanator :/ ..im running 4 10" 2 18" 2 6" for my subs.. and 4 6.5 mid highs.. and its just too much on the poor batteries..

V Tuning 850 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Trying using caps for your amps. Also when my system all be it small one was going through my batteries I found that turning the car back on after running the system for a long and or short time was fine, didn't wear the battery down anymore.Also arew you running your system when your driving? Or like sitting somewhere and you just have the system running and not the engine? If so that is your problem keep the engine running when using your system, I found that out the hard way.Try going to advanced auto parts, or look online for an alternator.

potroast Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 if you're killiing your batteries already, a capacitor will make it worse. A cap is just one more component to have to charge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 if you're killiing your batteries already, a capacitor will make it worse. A cap is just one more component to have to charge!←lol pwned EDIT: Try an Optima Red or Yellow Top battery. those are really good. Cap won't do you any good. and alternator upgrade is the best thing you can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Burg-855t Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 A rebuilt/reman 210amp alternator with a second battery WILL solve all your problems. Caps, will help very very little. A second battery will do wonders along with a 200+ amp alternator.
