I have a 1994 Dodge Intrepid and in the two years that I have owned it I have replaced the starter 4 times! Is this because of my audio system? I have an MTX 81000D amp running two MTX 8000 12" subs, and an MTX 6304 running Infinity 6x9s, 5 1/4 componants and 3 1/2 it the dash. Any feedback would be great. Thank you.

It could be alot of different possibilities. When was the last time you:

changed your plugs
changed your plug wires
changed your battery
changed your alternator
Try increasing the size of your ground to your battery

I changed the plugs and wires within the last few months, and when I installed the system, I also upgraded the ground coming off of the battery to the same gauge as the power wire which is 0/1 awg. As for the battery, I had it tested and they told me that it tested good but it was week. And I never touched the alternator.

Does the starter ever have trouble turning over the forst time or does it always take multiple tries before the car starts ?

It's always a different problem with each starter. With the first one, when I turned the key the bendix would engage and would not disengage. With the Last one I had, it sounded like it was grinding when I started it.
