Leave everything on as in the system? If that is the case then you need to correctly wire the system up, not add another battery. Hook up your remote wires so the amps turn off when the car is off. All other electronics should be hooked into the accessory so they also shut off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.
Yep...adding more equipment that charges from the battery/alternator is putting the electrical system under more strain. Even though, visually it may help in dimming lights...actuality is it is hurting it. I would add the first step as getting a deep cycle battery to replace your stock battery. This will help out tons alone and is a quick and easy replacement.
This = truth. That is what I should have told you earlier. Try the deep cycle battery first then if absolutely necessary upgrade your alternator. Don't do it though unless you are going through alternators like underwear though. Keep in mind that when you go fooling with your electrical system you really NEED to know exactly what you are doing, because a screw up in your electrical system can affect more than just your stereo system and your lights. Seek a professional installer if you must do those upgrades.
Go back and read my post. Upgraded battery and alt are steps 2 and 3. Step 1 should ALWAYS be a big 3 upgrade.
If you dont know what the Big 3 are.
1. Alternator to battery Pos wire.
2. Battery to engine frame ground
3. Block to frame ground.
until those 3 are upgraded you will only see minimal gains from an upgraded battery as your alt will not be any more efficient.
I know what big 3 is. It all goes hand in hand though. If the system is working correctly in the first place then even with a 50-60 amp draw from an aftermarket stereo system the big 3 alone will do ALMOST nothing. Notice I didn't say it will do nothing. What it will do is allow more current which in turn will just put more strain on a stock battery and alternator. You WILL eventually wear out a stock alternator. A deep cycle battery will hold a charge better therefore put less strain on the alternator when the stereo system is drawing more than the alternator can put out.
no i mean every single thing that could get turned on. he had the key in the ignition and it was turned so stuff would come on but the car was not started
thats normal with every car made pretty much....
