thanks qmw54
and if a alt. is the only way to fix it .....tell me what i should get .... newbie in the world of speakers .....
have you tried using a voltage capacitor? they reserve power for when the subs hit hard so your headlights won't flicker.

^^^^ wrong advice but stick around and learn at the same time. Read the grounding sticky at the top of the forum and do a search for the BIG 3. This will help you more than any band - aid cap ever will. A cap does not create power, it uses and stores it. Most amplifiers already have a internal cap bank, there are very few circumstances that warrant a additional cap be used.
