sub killin battery

[93DAteggybeast]

so i think reason y my alt and battery went bad is because subs i was told because either battery was small or alt and battery where a little too old to handle the subs or that i dont have a capacitor....or idk whats goin on and now i need my amp rewired and headunit hooked up again


who has an idea on what might be my issue

[anthonyb5s4]

the wiring is probably messed up and the headunit is causing the amp to stay on non-stop killing the battery, this happened to me in a 1996 tahoe, i ran a remote wire direct from the battery and installed a switch and it solved my problem

Somethimng must be staying on while car is off

[93DAteggybeast]

well i cant tell if my headunit is always on sensce it has no display but i gotta put new one in and now a new bat and alt not good i might need someone better with car audio to look at it

get a capacitor

yea or just get an extra battery and put it in ur trunk run 2 positives from it one for ur amp and the other one to ur battery and 2 negatives i have a new battery its a truck battery lmk ll sell it to u i just use it to give my rolla a jump its new

[93DAteggybeast]

idk how big a capacitor i need and where to get a good one lol idk nothing about caps

[93DAteggybeast]

and maybe ho much and how old is battery

[anthonyb5s4]

get a capacitor

x2 but if the headunit is causing the amp to stay on then thats not gonna solve the issue make sure the red wire to the headunit is connected to a constant source of power and the yellow wire is conntect to a source of power that turns on with the ignition, if both are connected its gonna cause the headunit to stay on even when the car is off which causes the amp to stay on which will kill your battery

[93DAteggybeast]

ok and also would kill alt right because my alt burnt out too and i might just save money and have someone hook it up right and also dont like amp so fornow its disconnected

[anthonyb5s4]

if u need any help lmk i used to hav a system all wired up in my DA back when i still had it

[93DAteggybeast]

alright will u charge just to look or will u come look and give a price idea...i just need someone to also show me basics so i dont have to keep replacing batteries and alts because i have no type of money for that shit hahaha

[anthonyb5s4]

if u can come thru in bridgeport i can take a look at it and tell u wuts wrong with the wiring, its not that hard its just time consuming

[93DAteggybeast]
