Hi,
After installing my sound system im getting great power drain, my lights are dimming when the deep bass notes hit, while the engine is running and the system is off my cars voltage is only 13.8 - 14.0 with my system on its 12.6 - 13.0 and with it pumping its 10.8 - 12.0
I had a 4 Farad capactior as well, i thought that might help things, it has made the subs more responsive but no help on power drain.
im thinking of getting a new alternator, whats the way to go? can i get really good ones that are more efficent? or is there only 1 to get for a VS Calais 5.0litre?
ANy help on this subject would be awesome...
Cheers.
