I'm having a problems with all of my electronics flickering... hid headlights led foot lights led dome light dash lighting. None of the flickering is to the beat of my bass. Just random low high over and over when I'm driving doesn't happen when I'm stopped in neutral or park.

I have the independent fog lights done, led foot lighting and a 4 way ac adapter on two separate add-a-fuse. I have a 500w amp and one twelve inch sub.

Im asking for help figuring out what the problem is. Also will a capacitor help with this problem???

Thank you!!!!!!!

 

Could i need a new battery or alternator?

 

your headlights and system killed your alternator... not under warranty.

 

pry the alternator off and take it to napa or discount, they can test it.

i've bought high output alts for small block chevy's before, not sure they make them for the fit application.... but you're pulling some serious juice, you may want to consider a bigger alternator along with a seperate main bus, connected right off the alt, for all your accessories.

edit: re: capacitor. in an AC system a cap boosts voltage, but in a DC system all it does is provide a source of energy to provide temporary coulombs when needed (think bass hits). if you're running a constant draw (HID lights, a hotplate off that 4 way ac adapter) then a cap won't help you much if any.

 

Ok I dont know much about the alternator i can not even point it out. I understand it's not under warranty not to big of a deal. I would like to get a higher output alternator. Some of these guys are running crazy amounts of subs and amps does anyone have insight on a bigger/more power alternator?

Ok so a capacitor is out? Will charging the battery using a charger help if I do it at night until I get this problem fixed?

 

Found a few threads and someone said Iraggi Alternators made a HO for the 07-08 but for the life of me I can not find it.

 

I emailed powerbastards.com and received this reply. Does anyone with more knowledge think I'll be able to get this to fit?

 

any one else have any insight?????????

 

Try also Mean Green Alternators I understand they do all kinds of import applications. 220 amps!! Sweet Jesus that sucker could power a small town!
