    Default power problems..

    so i was sitting listening to music today and noticed that whenever I turned on anything electronic in the car(lights, radio-subs hit, ect) the rpms would do down a lil bit or alot if i turned everything on. Idle will go from 1200ish to 9-800rpms at at stop light if i had the headlights on and music up.

    Would this be a batt problem or alt problem?

    you can get them both tested at autozone---battery and alternator.

    if everything is good, you might have to get an alternator with bigger balls, lol

    Same thing happened my Trans Am, My stereo was way to much for my Alt. if I stopped I had to turn the stereo down or it would start to go crazy. Had to go buy the alt they used on the police package cars.
