...very quickly
Hey guys,
I've got a 66 with a decent system in it and was wondering how most cars can have their systems blaring with the car off for a long time and have enough power to start it later. Is it something newer cars have to prolong the charge or simply that my system draws a lot of power. I can literally sit and watch my cap voltage die in about 2 mins with the volume up a little more than half. I've only got a 70amp alt in there right now, could this the problem? It's gettin real annoying to have to have my car on with it's loud exhaust when I'm just sittin in my car waiting and want the stereo on.
System components: alpine 9805 deck, MBquartz 5.25"(2), MBQuartz 6x9(2), Alpine type s 12 inch subs(2), alpine 5 channel amp f-450, and 1.2 farad cap.
Thanks for the advice, I figure you guys will know a lot more about this than the classic or 5.0 forum.
