A lot of people are running much more powerful systems than that but don't have a problem. Maybe it is your alternator but not because of your sound system, but because its just stuffed. Maybe get it tested.

hey reaper
u havin a bad day or just a wanker
last i read this section was for car audio so if all you want to do is boast about your v8 then maybe you should F**K OFF and let people that have something usful to say post
i dont think i was direspectful i put it in caps to draw attention as i am feed up with this problem and needed the help of other who may have had similar problem (i didn't know this was shouting)
and i through i would put in all the speaker sizes to avoid more questions to speed things up
if anything i think you were disrespcful
a 95 amp alternator is way more than enough for your needs.... just cos you put a bigger alternator in doesnt mean its going to charge the battery any quicker.... maybe if you warmed your car up for 5 minutes every morning before you drove it, it would give the battery a bit of time to recharge... batteries take about 15 minutes to get back to the same state of charge that they were on before you started your car.
or the easier option would be to not drive with your music cranked every morning....
my altinator packet it in a few weeks ago, the cars done almost 100000kms. if yours is near that mark, and is the original altinator, buy a new one.
sorry reaper the pic looks like a v8 it was the post about the v6 been powerful enough to turn the alternator, ofcourse it is it wasn't needed and wasn't helpful
